Published: March 2024

Abstract
Since Cajal introduced dendritic spines in the 19th century, they have attained considerable attention, especially in neuropsychiatric and neurologic disorders. Multiple roles of dendritic spine malfunction and pathology in the progression of various diseases have been reported. Thus, it is inevitable to consider these structures as new therapeutic targets for treating neuropsychiatric and neurologic disorders such as autism spectrum disorders, schizophrenia, dementia, Down syndrome, etc. Therefore, we attempted to prepare a narrative review of the literature regarding the role of dendritic spines in the pathogenesis of aforementioned diseases and to shed new light on their pathophysiology.
Effect of contaminated water (handwashing detergent) on seed germination traits in wheat, mung bean, and chickpea
Authors: Heidari Hassan , Karimi Sahar 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
Household detergents are a source of water pollu-tants that adversely affect crops. These pollutants not only reduce plant growth, but also have a negative impact on the environment. To investigate the effect of handwashing liquid on the germination characteristics of wheat, mung bean, and chickpea, a study was conducted using a completely randomized design with three replications. Water contaminated with different concentrations of handwashing liquid ((0, 0.01, 0.1, 1, 10) % of handwashing liquid) was used as treatment. The results showed that with increasing concentration of the contaminant, germination characteristics such as seed germination percentage, caulicle length, radicle length, and seed vigor decreased. Wheat was the most sensitive to detergent concentration compared to the other two plants, with the lowest detergent concentration causing a severe reduction in its germination traits. Therefore, farmers using water contaminated with household detergents need to be aware of its concentration to ensure healthy plant growth.
Accurate Detection Method of Corrosion State of Steel Structure Bridge in Internet of Things Environment Based on Visual Image Characteristics
Authors: Gao Jingyang 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
Bridge structures are one of the most important aspects of transportation because they make remote areas accessible, but preserving the environment is equally important. The toughness and endurance of the bridge structure is very important from the security perspective of transportation. Corrosion adversely impacts the steel structure strength of bridges. Accurate detection methods within the environment of Internet of Things can help to find the corrosion of bridges in time, take maintenance measures in advance, and delay the decay of bridge life. At present, the inspection of bridge supports is primarily carried out by labor-intensive inspection. This method is time-consuming and labor-intensive and also affects traffic. To show advancement in the detection accuracy of the bridge corrosion state, an accurate detection method based on visual image features is proposed. Drone technology is used to collect corrosion images of steel bridges. Considering the complexity of the image, the convolution operation is performed on the images using a deep neural network (DNN). A DNN model is constructed according to the apparent features of the rust image. The supervised learning DNN is combined with the unsupervised learning sparse autoencoding (SAE), and the DNN is autoencoded by SAE to reduce the reconstruction bias. On this basis, the accurate detection of the rusted state is accomplished. From the experimental analysis, it is apparent that the peak signal-to-noise ratio of this method is higher than 25, and the detection time is shorter than that of the methods compared. It can accurately detect different types of rust states.

Abstract
To determine the permeability properties of lining materials for the design of nonmetallic pipes in oil and gas fields, we conducted a study on the transport behavior of pure and mixed gases (carbon dioxide [CO2] / methane [CH4]) through commonly used thermoplastic-lined pipe materials. The material tested were high-density polyethylene (HDPE), polyamide (PA), and polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF). It was observed that the permeability coefficient of the pure gas through HDPE, PA12, and PVDF increased with increasing temperature. The permeation of mixed gas with different volume fractions was also tested at different temperatures, in which the deviation between the test and the ideal state was founded. For HDPE and PVDF, the permeability coefficient of the mixed gas is higher than that of pure gas because of the plasticization effect of CO2. However, for PA12, the permeability coefficient of mixed gas is lower than that of the pure gas. This is because of the tight interaction between the chains and the competition between CO2 and CH4 for a limited number of active sites.

When people still had enough time to live
Authors: Rébay Magdolna 
Published: March 2024

AbstractIn this paper the author want to focus especially on the education of girls from Hungarian aristocratic families by studying not only the relationship between the parents and the children but also the aim, content, methods of education. The sources were primarily the memoirs that have been more frequently published, that resulted in more detailed, subtle conclusions complete with personal motivations as well. The research method was narrative text analysis. The author concluded that there were practically only some aristocratic girls who had enrolled a secondary school before WW1. After WW1 there were more and more girls taking part in school education, the reason being their financial circumstances and the changed social and cultural situation. Some have already enrolled in university or obtained a vocational qualification. However, working women were very rare among them. The relationship between the parents and children was different by families, but the strict distance increasingly loosened up. One of the most important goal of education was the knowledge of modern languages. Besides practising religion and arts physical education and sports were present in the lives of the girls in the country. Girls could only move around in their own social groups, they put special emphasis on developing social competences. A girl's goal was to find a spouse who is worthy of her rank.

AbstractThe clinical role of Acinetobacter baumannii has been highlighted in numerous infectious syndromes with a high mortality rate, due to the high prevalence of multidrug-resistant (MDR) isolates. The treatment and eradication of this pathogen is hindered by biofilm-formation, providing protection from noxious environmental factors and antimicrobials. The aim of this study was to assess the antibiotic susceptibility, antiseptic susceptibility and biofilm-forming capacity using phenotypic methods in environmental A. baumannii isolates. One hundred and fourteen (n = 114) isolates were collected, originating from various environmental sources and geographical regions. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was carried out using the disk diffusion method, while antiseptic susceptibility was performed using the agar dilution method. Determination of biofilm-forming capacity was carried out using a microtiter-plate based method. Resistance in environmental A. baumannii isolates were highest for ciprofloxacin (64.03%, n = 73), levofloxacin (62.18%, n = 71) and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (61.40%, n = 70), while lowest for colistin (1.75%, n = 2). Efflux pump overexpression was seen in 48.25% of isolates (n = 55), 49.12% (n = 56) were classified as MDR. 6.14% (n = 7), 9.65% (n = 11), 24.65% (n = 28) and 59.65% (n = 68) of isolates were non-biofilm producers, weak, medium, and strong biofilm producers, respectively. No significant differences were observed between non-MDR vs. MDR isolates regarding their distribution of biofilm-producers (P = 0.655). The MIC ranges for the tested antiseptics were as follows: benzalkonium chloride 16–128 μg mL−1, chlorhexidine digluconate 4–128 μg mL−1, formaldehyde 64–256 μg mL−1 and triclosan 2–16 μg mL−1, respectively. The conscientious use of antiseptics, together with periodic surveillance, is essential to curb the spread of these bacteria, and to maintain current infection prevention capabilities.
An examination of internal family systems interventions for trauma with implications for ethical psychedelic-assisted treatment

Published: March 2024

AbstractThough several treatments effectively address the pervasive impact of trauma, they do not achieve complete symptom resolution for all clients, inspiring the search for alternatives. Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy has grown popular, especially in informal psychedelic-assisted treatments (PAT). Compared to stereotypes of empirically validated, exposure-based treatments, IFS has novel facets with widespread appeal. The model encourages improved quality of interactions among multiple, naturally arising “parts” or subpersonalities potentially generated by traumatic experience. The body of IFS literature is extensive, enthusiastic, and thought-provoking. Outcome data for applying the model to Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder are limited. Attempts to operationalize and falsify the theory's assumptions and proposed mechanisms will likely prove challenging. Nevertheless, the model's popularity underscores a problem with perceptions of the empirically-supported treatments. Contemplating ethical ways to present the IFS approach given the state of relevant research, we note strategies that would apply to recommendations for PAT of any type. These strategies include detailed psychoeducation about empirically-supported treatments, candid description of the experimental nature of alternatives, frequent assessments of improvement, and detailed monitoring of potential iatrogenic effects. Drawing on facets of IFS to improve perceptions of the empirically validated treatments might provide an efficient way to appeal to more clients, decrease drop out, and increase gains as we await results of empirical investigations of IFS-influenced PAT. These steps can allow clients to choose an approach consistent with their own impressions of a credible intervention, potentially leading to better outcomes.
Determining the effect of a floating point on the Falcon digital signature algorithm security

Published: March 2024

The object of research is digital signatures. The Falcon digital signature scheme is one of the finalists in the NIST post-quantum cryptography competition. Its distinctive feature is the use of floating-point arithmetic. However, floating-point arithmetic has so-called rounding noise, which accumulates during computations and in some cases may lead to significant changes in the processed values. The work considers the problem of using rounding noise to build attacks on implementation. The main result of the study is a novel attack on implementation, which enables the secret key recovery. This attack differs from existing attacks in using two separately secure implementations with different computation orders. As a result of the analysis, the conditions under which secret key recovery is possible were revealed. The attack requires 300,000 signatures and two implementations to recover key. The probability of successful attack ranges from 70 % to 76 %. This probability is explained by the structure of the Gaussian sampling algorithm used in the Falcon digital signature. At the same time, a necessary condition for conducting an attack is identical seed during signature generation. This condition makes the attack more theoretical than practical since the correct implementation of the Falcon makes probability of two identical seeds negligible. However, the possible usage of floating-point noise shows potential existence of additional attack vectors for the Falcon that should be covered in security models. The results could be used in the construction of digital signature security models and their implementation in existing information and communication systems

Published: March 2024

The object of the study reported here is the processes of occurrence, perception, and redistribution of loads in the improved structure of the hatch cover in a universal open wagon.
In order to reduce the load on the cover of an open wagon hatch, and, accordingly, to improve its strength, it is proposed to improve its design by introducing sandwich components. The thickness of the sheets that form the hatch cover has been determined. The dynamic loading of the hatch cover in the vertical plane was studied. It was found that the accelerations acting on the hatch cover with the proposed improvement are almost 20 % lower than those acting on the typical structure. The basic strength indicators of the hatch cover under the operational modes of its load have been determined. The results of the calculation showed that the maximum stresses in the hatch cover are 22 % lower than permissible ones. In addition, within the framework of the study, the main indicators of the dynamics of the open wagon equipped with the proposed structure of hatch covers were determined. The movement of the open wagon under the condition of movement in an empty state is rated as "good". At the same time, the maximum accelerations in the center of mass of the supporting structure of an open wagon were 4.6 m/s2, and the coefficient of vertical dynamics was about 0.6.
Special features of the results within the framework of this study are that the proposed improvement of the hatch cover helps improve its strength by reducing the dynamic load, and not by strengthening the structure.
The scope of practical application of the results is the engineering industry, in particular, railroad transport. The conditions for the practical use of the research results are the use of energy-absorbing material in the sandwich-type components that form the hatch cover.
The study reported here could contribute to devising recommendations for the construction of components in the structures of modern freight cars, thereby reducing the costs of maintaining them in operation, as well as increasing the profitability of railroad transportation

Published: March 2024

Poultry meat plays a key role as a source of high-quality protein, vitamins, minerals, and unsaturated fatty acids. However, unsaturated fatty acids, especially essential ones, are prone to oxidative reactions during meat storage, which can negatively affect its quality. The object of the study is the technology of obtaining and storing poultry meat. Legart Danish geese were used as the experimental material. Oats (Avena Sativa) and alfalfa (Medicago sativa) contain a large number of biologically active substances (minerals, unsaturated fatty acids, amino acids, antioxidants). Adding vegetative parts of oats and alfalfa to the diet of geese contributes to improving the quality of the obtained meat, especially after prolonged low-temperature storage. The geese were slaughtered on the 63rd day. The meat was stored at a temperature of –18 °C for 90 days.
It was found that there was an 11.5 % increase in the live weight of the geese at an early slaughter age, an increase in protein content (by 5 %), better moisture-binding capacity (by 6–7.3 %), and a decrease in the content of lipid peroxidation products, especially on the 67th day of storage (28.3 %). There was a significant increase in the content of ω3 and ω6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (by 24.2 % and 10.8 %, respectively). There was an increase in the content of vitamin E and β-carotene, both before freezing (38.5 % and 19.6 %) and at the end of the storage period (50.9 % and 20 %). A tendency to increase the content of essential amino acids (threonine and methionine) was found. The results can be used in the production of goose meat to improve its nutritional characteristics, which is important for the health of consumers, meat producers, and also in scientific research on the development of technologies in the field of meat production and storage

Published: March 2024

The object of research is the equipment and technological design of absorption refrigeration units (ARUs) for the technological system of secondary condensation of large-scale ammonia production. Improving the energy efficiency of ARU is an urgent problem in the general process of reducing operating costs for natural gas in these industries as a whole.
Based on the results of analytical studies, the feasibility of combining absorption-refrigeration and vapor-ejector cycles was substantiated, which ensures a decrease in the boiling temperature of a weak water-ammonia solution in the cube of the generator-rectifier and an increase in the condensation pressure in the ARU cycle. Under such circumstances, it becomes possible to increase the concentration of the refrigerant due to the rectification of steam with a part of the liquid refrigerant without using a pump with the removal of the dephlegmator from the ARU circuit.
Experimental studies and material-thermal calculations of ARU cycles were carried out to determine the basis of comparison and the proposed version of the ARU scheme. It has been proven that the new technological design of ARU provides an increase in cooling capacity from 3.22 MW to 3.6 MW (by 12 %), the thermal coefficient from 0.527 to 0.551 (by 4.6 %), a decrease in the circulation ratio from 7.77 to 7.1 (by 8 %), and a decrease in the secondary condensation temperature by 2.5 ℃.
It is shown that for the proposed version of the technological design of ARU, there is a change in specific costs – an increase in electricity by 1.48 kWh/t NH3 and a decrease in natural gas by 0.41 nm3/t NH3. Taking into account existing cost indicators for natural gas and electricity, the application of the proposed technology ensures a decrease in annual operating costs by UAH 7 million (USD 185,000), and therefore an increase in the economy of ammonia production as a whole

This paper describes approaches to improving the efficiency of agricultural enterprises. It has been established that the use of technology transfer, in particular, precision farming technologies, makes it possible to enhance the efficiency of agricultural enterprises, in particular, to increase the yield of agricultural crops and, accordingly, to improve the profitability of enterprises. As an example, the activities of agricultural enterprises in the Republic of Kazakhstan were analyzed. The share of agricultural enterprises in the Republic of Kazakhstan that use elements of precision farming technology in their activities was determined. It was established that since 2019, the use of precision farming technologies in the activities of agricultural enterprises in the Republic of Kazakhstan has intensified. At the same time, from 60 to 75 % of enterprises already use elements of precision farming technologies in their activities. Using crop yield data for the past 32 years, estimates of the effectiveness of using precision farming technologies by agro-enterprises in the Republic of Kazakhstan were constructed based on forecasting yield indicators using the linear-weighted moving average method. The efficiency of using precision farming technologies in the activities of agricultural enterprises in the Republic of Kazakhstan in 2022 reached 8.46 %, and the average efficiency for the period 2019–2022 was 4.21 %. Therefore, the use of precision farming technologies makes it possible to improve the validity of decision-making in the management of an agricultural enterprise and to obtain a higher profit from the sale of produced agricultural products for any agricultural enterprise in the world. On average, the results allow us to estimate the possible profit of an agro-enterprise when growing agricultural crops in the case of using precision farming technology
