Published: April 2024

ABSTRACT
Copulas are a vital statistical tool, particularly in hydrology, for understanding complex relationships among flood characteristics. This study focuses on three key flood features: peak discharge, flood volume, and flood duration, using trivariate copulas to capture their interdependencies. This is crucial because bivariate and univariate analyses fall short in considering all three factors simultaneously. To handle extreme flood values, L-moment is proposed over maximum likelihood estimation and inference function margin due to its enhanced reliability and susceptibility to outliers and extreme values. Akaike information criterion was employed to identify the best-fit marginal distribution and copula. The Lognormal distribution effectively models peak discharge, while Weibull and generalized extreme value distributions fit flood volume and duration best, respectively. Various copula families, including elliptical and Archimedean, are assessed, where Clayton copula emerge as the most suitable. This analysis demonstrates that when more flood features are considered together, the return period increases, indicating the reduced likelihood of occurrence. The trivariate case of the AND-joint return period surpasses the trivariate case of the OR-joint return period where the TP, V, DAND=5, 405.93 years, while TP, V, DOR=500.46 years. This comprehensive approach enhances hydrological modeling and decision-making for water resource management and flood mitigation projects.

Published: April 2024

Background
Large-scale crisis events such as COVID-19 often have secondary impacts on individuals’ mental well-being. University students are particularly vulnerable to such impacts. Traditional survey-based methods to identify those in need of support do not scale over large populations and they do not provide timely insights. We pursue an alternative approach through social media data and machine learning. Our models aim to complement surveys and provide early, precise, and objective predictions of students disrupted by COVID-19.

Objective
This study aims to demonstrate the feasibility of language on private social media as an indicator of crisis-induced disruption to mental well-being.

Methods
We modeled 4124 Facebook posts provided by 43 undergraduate students, spanning over 2 years. We extracted temporal trends in the psycholinguistic attributes of their posts and comments. These trends were used as features to predict how COVID-19 disrupted their mental well-being.

Results
The social media–enabled model had an F1-score of 0.79, which was a 39% improvement over a model trained on the self-reported mental state of the participant. The features we used showed promise in predicting other mental states such as anxiety, depression, social, isolation, and suicidal behavior (F1-scores varied between 0.85 and 0.93). We also found that selecting the windows of time 7 months after the COVID-19–induced lockdown presented better results, therefore, paving the way for data minimization.

Conclusions
We predicted COVID-19–induced disruptions to mental well-being by developing a machine learning model that leveraged language on private social media. The language in these posts described psycholinguistic trends in students’ online behavior. These longitudinal trends helped predict mental well-being disruption better than models trained on correlated mental health questionnaires. Our work inspires further research into the potential applications of early, precise, and automatic warnings for individuals concerned about their mental health in times of crisis.

Authors: Louch Gemma , Berzins Kathryn , Walker Lauren , Wormald Gemma , Blackwell Kirstin , Stephens Michael , Brown Mark , Baker John 
Published: April 2024

Background
Acute mental health services report high levels of safety incidents that involve both patients and staff. The potential for patients to be involved in interventions to improve safety within a mental health setting is acknowledged, and there is a need for interventions that proactively seek the patient perspective of safety. Digital technologies may offer opportunities to address this need.

Objective
This research sought to design and develop a digital real-time monitoring tool (WardSonar) to collect and collate daily information from patients in acute mental health wards about their perceptions of safety. We present the design and development process and underpinning logic model and programme theory.

Methods
The first stage involved a synthesis of the findings from a systematic review and evidence scan, interviews with patients (n=8) and health professionals (n=17), and stakeholder engagement. Cycles of design activities and discussion followed with patients, staff, and stakeholder groups, to design and develop the prototype tool.

Results
We drew on patient safety theory and the concepts of contagion and milieu. The data synthesis, design, and development process resulted in three prototype components of the digital monitoring tool (WardSonar): (1) a patient recording interface that asks patients to input their perceptions into a tablet computer, to assess how the ward feels and whether the direction is changing, that is, “getting worse” or “getting better”; (2) a staff dashboard and functionality to interrogate the data at different levels; and (3) a public-facing ward interface. The technology is available as open-source code.

Conclusions
Recent patient safety policy and research priorities encourage innovative approaches to measuring and monitoring safety. We developed a digital real-time monitoring tool to collect information from patients in acute mental health wards about perceived safety, to support staff to respond and intervene to changes in the clinical environment more proactively.

Published: April 2024

Aim. To study the features of strategic planning and practical implementation of the concept of sustainable development of the countries of the Eurasian Economic Union, taking into account the Sustainable Development Goals in the context of the formation of a new architecture of the world structure and a change in the current world order.Tasks. Consider the essence and principles of the SDG implementation; identify the specifics of the integration of the SDGs into the national strategies of individual states of the post-Soviet space; analyze the features of the localization of SDGs at the regional level using the example of Eurasian integration; determine the role of the EAEU in the context of the formation of a multipolar world system and strengthening the its position as a macro-regional center of the power; justify the priorities for achieving the SDGs in the context of sustainable development of the EAEU.Methods. To achieve the set goals the following methodological approaches were used in the article. The constructivist approach makes it possible to determine the essence of sustainable development, its significance for society and the economy, as well as to analyze the regulatory and legal framework of the EAEU countries in this area. Comparative analysis made it possible to determine the relationship of SDGs with changed world architectures in retrospect and the current conditions. Empirical analysis makes it possible to assess the practical steps and efforts of the EAEU countries to achieve the SDGs, including the implementation of innovative projects and the rational use of the resource base.Results. Understanding and regulation of sustainable development in the EAEU is justified. The study made it possible to establish that the countries of the Union attach importance to sustainable development, but at the legislative level there remains a problem of insufficient consistency of regulatory legal acts on this topic. This highlights the need for a clearer and more concrete regulatory framework for sustainable development. The study allowed to analyze the impact of globalization on the world and regional structure. It is argued, that the EAEU, as a regional association, has a unique opportunity to gain a foothold as one of the macro-regions in the multipolar world system. This provides strategic advantages in the context of a change in the world order on the way to multipolarity.Conclusions. The study identified a number of priority tasks contributing to the achievement of the SDGs in the context of the sustainable development of the EAEU. The most important factors in this context are: food independence, energy sustainability, strengthening economic integration, infrastructure development, focus on hard innovation and digitalization.

Main consequences of enzymatic induction and inhibition during the interaction of drugs and the role of CYP3A4, CYP3A45 enzymes
Authors: Dreshaj Arber , Dreshaj Altin , Sinanaj Driton , Morina Evetar , Dehari Shefket 
Published: April 2024

Abstract
The microsomal enzyme system is responsible for the metabolism of pollutants, toxic agents and drugs. With regards to drug metabolism, the activity of the constituent microsomal enzymes results in the reduction of pharmacological and toxicological activity through conversion of hydrophilic (water soluble) compounds to allow urinary excretion. Microsomal enzymes oxidize drugs and steroid hormones in reactions that require adenine nucleotide diphosphate (NADPH). Reversible inhibition reduces enzyme activity through reversible interaction. A covalent bond between the inhibitor and the enzyme can promote the destruction of essential functional groups of the enzyme. Enzyme induction and inhibition are problematic in drug polytherapy. Often the lack of effect of a drug or the side effects that a certain drug exhibits are problems of interaction of drugs with each other in that individually they inhibit or stimulate enzyme activity.

Abstract
Chlorogenic acid (CA) is an important phenolic acid antioxidant. It is found in Pluchea indica L. (Asteraceae). However, it has only been extensively studied in the leaves, while studies on the stems have not been reported. This study aimed to identify and measure the levels of CA in the stem extract of P. indica. The extract was also determined for its antioxidant activities. In the course of the work, P. indica stems powder was extracted using the ultrasonic-assisted extraction (UAE) technique employing 50%-ethanol as solvent directly and sequentially. The extract was then measured for total phenolic content (TPC) and CA content using RP-HPLC. Meanwhile, antioxidant activities were determined by the DPPH, ABTS, and reducing power (RP) methods. TPC in the sequential and the direct of P. indica stems ethanol extracts were 1.4694±0.0228 and 1.9314±0.0318 mgGAE/g DW, respectively. We found that the CA content of 50%-ethanol extract of P. indica stems from sequential extraction (0.2045±0.0128%, w/w) was higher than 50%-ethanol extract from direct extraction (0.1984±0.0113%, w/w). The two extracts demonstrated good antioxidant capacity, while the ethyl acetate and n-hexane extracts did not. Identifying of other antioxidants phenolics using other extracting methods still needs further study.
Detection of Epstein-Barr virus among chronic kidney disease patients in Najaf, Iraq
Authors: Basem Zahraa , Jameel Huda 
Published: April 2024

Abstract
Many people across the world have been infected with Epstein Barr virus (EBV), a kind of a human herpes virus. Loss of kidney function happens progressively with time in those with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Individuals with CKD may be more susceptible to viral infections such as EBV due to their compromised immune systems. The purpose of this research is to quantify the frequency with which EBV infection occurs in patients with CKD in the Al-Najaf governorate. Blood samples from 50 people with CKD and 50 healthy controls were collected for the study at the Specialized Centre for Diseases and Kidney Transplant at Al-Sadder Medical City in Al-Najaf city. Nineteen of the CKD patients were men, whereas 31 were women. The age range of individuals who took part in the research varied from 17 to 47. The time frame for this study’s data gathering was from January 2022 to December 2022. Fifty hemodialysis patients gave blood samples for analysis. Researchers measured anti-EBV IgG antibodies using the ELISA method to evaluate the efficacy of humoral immunity. Eleven (22% of all samples) were found to have positive results for Epstein Barr nuclear antigen2 (EBNA2) IgG. This number was 43.1% of all males and 38.4% of all females. However, the serum concentration was found to be statistically significantly higher in the age range of 17-26 years (p0.05) than in any other age group. The RT-qPCR method was also applied to detect EBV infection in the study. Only 18 (36% of the sample) of the 50 patients had positive RT-qPCR results for EBV. This number was 15.7% of all males and 48.4% of all females; however, the positivity rate increased to 71.4% in the (17-26) age group and decreased to 28.5% in those older than 57. Results from the control group were negative for EBNA2 IgG antibodies and EBV DNA. Findings of this research demonstrate that the prevalence of EBV antibodies is considerably higher among patients undergoing hemodialysis than in the group serving as a control, regardless of age. In addition, the results of the study support the use of real-time PCR for detecting EBV among patients with CKD, due to its high sensitivity and specificity.

Published: April 2024

Objective: The aim of this study is to analyze if the practice of Greenwashing is related to the level of financial constraints of companies in the capital market.

Theoretical Framework: This section presents the main concepts and theories that underpin the research. Relevant theories, models, or frameworks are highlighted, providing a solid foundation for understanding the research context.

Method: To achieve this objective, this research proposes an econometric model that seeks to relate variables representing financial constraint conditions to the Greenwash score. For this purpose, financial data from 3,574 companies from 21 countries were analyzed for the period between 2016 and 2022. The proposed model in the research was analyzed through multiple linear regression with panel data.

Results and Discussion: The results obtained allow inferring that the variables used to capture the level of financial constraint of companies are significantly related to the practice of Greenwashing. However, the Financial Risk and Debt Cost variables were negatively associated with the Greenwash score, showing a relationship with the dependent variable diverging from what was expected.

Research Implications: The results of this research allow inferring for the analyzed sample that the practice of Greenwashing is impacted by the financial constraint situation of companies. Such a result can contribute to academic studies on best ESG practices and provide support for improving market monitoring regarding the manipulation of Corporate Social Responsibility actions by companies.

Originality/Value: This study contributes to the literature by expanding the analysis of Greenwashing practice to a significant and representative sample of companies in relation to the largest global economies. The relevance and value of this research are evidenced by evaluating aspects of corporate management beyond financial ones, relating environmental and social aspects to the financial risks of companies in the capital market.

Diabetes-induced osteoporosis. Review
Authors: Кondratiuk V. E. , Stakhova А. P. 
Published: April 2024

The literature review highlights the impact of osteoporosis on the health of the population. The attention is focused on one of the secondary osteoporosis types, diabetes‑induced osteoporosis (DIO). The mechanisms of bone mass loss are highlighted, description is given to the interaction between osteoblasts and osteoclasts, the role of immune cells in the process of osteoporosis under conditions of hyperglycemia. The risk factors of DIO in type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) and the causes of bone mineral density reduction are described. Special attention is focused on the phenomenon of immunoporosis, which can lead to the creation and further development of new approaches to the targeted treatment of osteoporosis.
High incidence of fractures in patients with type 1 diabetes (DM1) is caused by both negative hyperglycemia effects on the bone architectonics, and effects of hypoglycemia that raises the risk of falls. Along with hyperglycemic‑mediated processes in bone, the state of the microcirculatory bed, muscle tissue, and peripheral nervous system is important in DIO pathogenesis. In‑depth study of immunoporosis will contribute to the creation of new and development of existing approaches to the targeted osteoporosis treatment. Literature data show that incidence of any fractures’ is increased in three times in DM1 patients. The correlation between hyperglycemia, insulin, insulin‑like growth factor, anabolic hormones and C‑peptide with the development of diabetes‑induced osteoporosis has been revealed. Despite the lower date of fractures in DM2, comparing to the DM1, the main reasons for fractures include the high risk of falls, accumulation of advanced glycosylation end‑products, the low level of bone tissue metabolism, as well as obesity and insulin resistance. The effects of hypoglycemic drugs on fracture risk and bone mineral density have been characterized. Metformin and glucagon‑like peptide‑1 receptor agonists have the most favorable fracture safety profile. It has been suggested that bisphosphonates, androgens, and receptor activator of nuclear factor‑kappa B ligand (RANKL) inhibitor may be the most effective drugs against osteoporosis in patients with DM.
