Abstract

The aim of this study is to optimize water irrigation management for improving carrot productivity and water-saving in arid regions of southern Tunisia. Field studies were conducted over two seasons (2017–2019) to evaluate the effects of drip irrigation (DI) and surface irrigation (SI) methods coupled with three irrigation regimes on agronomic parameters of carrot crops. Irrigation regimes consisted of water replacements of cumulated crop evapotranspiration (ETc) at levels of 100% (I100), 70% (I70), and 40% (I40) when the readily available water in I100 treatment was depleted. Results showed a reduction in carrot yield by 13–22% and 22–32% with I70 and I40 treatments compared to I100, respectively. Yield is affected by the irrigation method with a reduction of around 6–7% under the surface method for both years. The water productivity (WP) was found to significantly vary among regimes and methods, where the highest values were observed for the I40 regimes and drip method. Drip and I100 irrigation techniques seem to optimize carrot production. Under situations of water shortage, adopting deficit irrigation treatment (DI70) could be an alternative for managing carrot irrigation and improving water productivity.

Abstract
Elimination of the matrix effect is a major challenge in developing a method for the quantification of heavy metals (HMs) in water samples. In this regard, the current research describes the simultaneous analyses of Cu(II), Cd(II), and Ni(II) ions in water matrices through flame atomic absorption spectrophotometry (FAAS) after preconcentration with carrier element-free co-precipitation (CEFC) technique by the help of an organic co-precipitant, 3-{[5-(4-Chlorobenzyl)-3-(4-chlorophenyl)-1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl]-methyl}-4-[2,4-(dichlorobenzylidene)amino]-1H-1,2,4-triazole-5(4H)-thione (CCMBATT). Based on our literature research, CCMBATT was employed for the first time in this study as an organic co-precipitant for the preconcentration of HMs. Factors such as solution pH, concentration of co-precipitant, sample volume, standing time, centrifugation rate, and time were thoroughly examined and optimized to achieve the highest efficiency in terms of HM recovery. The limits of detection (LODs) (with 10 number of tests) of 0.54, 0.34, and 1.95 μg L−1 and the relative standard deviations (RSD %) of 2.1, 3.3, and 3.0 were determined for Cu(II), Cd(II) and Ni(II) ions, respectively. Recovery results of HMs for the spiked samples were in the range of 92.8–101.0%, demonstrating the trueness of the method and its applicability to the water samples matrix.
Localized Delivery of Bioactives using Structured Liposomal Gels
Authors: Kumar Deepak , Dua Kamal , Tiwari Sanjay 
Published: November 2023

Abstract:
Liposomes have gained a lot of interest for drug delivery applications, and some of these preparations
have been commercialized. These are formulated with biocompatible components and can be used for delivering
a wide range of payloads differing in aqueous solubility and molecular weight. Liposome-based delivery
approaches are limited mainly by two factors: (a) poor dispersion stability, and (b) pre-mature leakage of
payloads. In this review, we have discussed the stabilization of liposomal vesicles by their entrapment in hydrogels.
Studies reveal that such hydrogels can maintain the structural integrity of liposomes. Release of liposomes
from the hydrogel network can be modulated through careful screening of matrix former and degree of
its cross-linking. Accordingly, we have reviewed the approaches of stabilizing liposomal vesicles through entrapment
in hydrogels. Application of liposome-embedded hydrogels has been reviewed in context of localized
drug delivery. Our discussion is focussed on the delivery of bioactives to the skin. Such an approach appears
alluring from the standpoint of minimizing the undesirable distribution of payload(s) the systemic circulation
and off-target sites.
Optimizing Telehealth for Diabetes Management in the Deep South of the United States: Qualitative Study of Barriers and Facilitators on the Patient and Clinician Journey
Authors: Bazzano Alessandra N , Patel Tejal , Nauman Elizabeth , Cernigliaro Dana , Shi Lizheng 
Published: November 2023

Background
The Deep South of the United States, and Louisiana in particular, bears a greater burden of obesity, diabetes, and heart disease compared with other regions in the United States. Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been a substantial increase in telehealth visits for diabetes management to protect the safety of patients. Although there have been significant advancements in telehealth and chronic disease management, little is known about patient and provider perspectives on the challenges and benefits of telehealth visits among people living with diabetes and providers who care for patients with diabetes in Louisiana.

Objective
This study aimed to explore barriers, facilitators, challenges, and benefits to telehealth for patients with diabetes and health care providers as they transitioned from in-person to remote care during the early COVID-19 pandemic to understand potential optimization.

Methods
A total of 24 semistructured qualitative interviews were conducted with 18 patients living with diabetes and 6 clinicians who served patients with diabetes to explore their experiences and perceptions of telehealth services for diabetes care. Approximately half of the participants identified as Black or African American, half as White, and 75% as female. Interviews were recorded, transcribed, and coded by experienced qualitative researchers using inductive and deductive techniques. A narrative, descriptive approach to the patient and clinician journey framed the study, including the development of internal journey maps, and reflexive thematic analysis was applied to the transcripts, with special attention to barriers and facilitators.

Results
In total, 5 themes illustrated barriers and facilitators for participants: convenience, safety, and comfort are the benefits of telehealth for patients and clinicians; yet telehealth and in-person visits are valued differently; the convenience of telehealth may have a downside; technology acts as a double-edged sword; and managing expectations and efficiency of the visit experience was an important factor. Individual experiences varied in relation to several factors, including comfort level and access to technology, health system protocols for providing telemedicine, and level of diabetes control among patients.

Conclusions
Recommendations for optimization include providing support to help guide and inform patients about what to expect and how to prepare for telehealth visits as well as allowing clinicians to schedule telehealth and in-person visits during discrete blocks of time to improve efficiency. Further research should address how hybrid models of telehealth and in-person care may differentially impact health outcomes for patients with diabetes, particularly for people with multiple chronic conditions in settings where access to technology and connectivity is not optimal.

Authors: Srivastava Devika , Singh Vandana , Ramappa Venkatesh K. 
Published: November 2023

Polyunsaturated fatty acids are widely recognized due to their remedial properties. In our previous studies, we reported that Tasar silkworm pupal oil (TSPO) is rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids, particularly alpha-linolenic acid (ALA). Further we also extracted ALA from TSPO and reported its significant anticancer activity. In the present study, extraction of TSPO and physico-chemical characterizations including saponification, acid, peroxide, iodine pH values, and colour determination were carried out to investigate the edible properties of TSPO for commercialization as a therapeutically active functional food. Further, the anti-diabetic activity of TSPO were analyzed by α-amylase inhibition assay. The saponification (154.75 ± 0.581mg KOH/g), acid (6.24 ± 0.421 mg KOH/g), peroxide (16.20 ± 0.265 meq/kg), iodine (40.33 ± 0.577g/100 ml), pH (6.17), and colour (14 Y+1.2 R) values were within the permissible range for commercialization. In addition to this, the results of the α-amylase inhibition assay showed that TSPO exhibited an IC50 value of 207339 µg/ml. The results may facilitate the use of TSPO oil in therapeutic and functional food applications

Ocean. History of water and the Earth’s crust
Authors: Gordienko V.V. 
Published: November 2023

Views on the origin and evolution of water (the amount and mode of incorporation into crustal and mantle rocks) on Earth are quite diverse. To substantiate them, arguments from various sections of geography, geology, geochemistry, cosmochemistry, and cosmogony are used. A comprehensive analysis allows us to fairly confidently assume that the appearance of water is associated with the final stage of the formation of the planet, which began after the accumulation of 60—90 % of its volume. This period coincided with the entry of water-bearing carbonatites,among other chondrites,into the accretion zone. Having estimated their contribution to the formation of water from different sources, we can compare it with the geological and geophysical data on the Earth’s early history. For this purpose, the author’s idea of the global asthenosphereas a relic of an ancient magmatic ocean, was used. The framework made it possible to estimate the volume of matter from which the emergence of a magma ocean made it possible to extract water. The synthesis of these independent results allows us to state quite confidently that water to fill the ocean was available (in one form or another) throughout the entire studied geological history of the planet.
The problem of the ocean itself (a deep-water reservoir with a crust different from the crust of the continents — less powerful and more basic) is considered mainly using the well-known results of B.A. Bluman and E.M. Rudich on the oceans and M.I. Budyko and co-authors on the continents. Their conclusions agree with the schemes of deep processes in the ocean tectonosphere considered by the author. These processes are controlled by a series of geological phenomena and anomalies in geophysical fields.The processes are reduced to heat and mass transfer in the eugeosyncline superimposed on the anomalously basic continental crust and subsequent activation.Thus, a fairly definite picture of the formation of the modern ocean due to the previous development of the Earth’s tectonosphere in the Mesozoic-Cenozoic is emerging.
Preliminary results of UAV magnetic surveys for unexploded ordnance de-tection in Ukraine: effectiveness and challenges

Over the past decade, the development of unmanned aerial technologies has allowed them to be considered a tool for conducting remote Earth sensing research. The use of such systems is primarily associated with solving geological and archaeological tasks. However, the armed aggression by the Russian Federation contaminated Ukrainian territory at an unprecedented scale, including unexploded ordnance (UXO). It is necessary to check unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) can be used to address this issue. An efficient solution can significantly expedite the process of surveying areas for the presence of UXO, minimizing risks to lives and health.
The research was conducted at test sites using full-scale models as targets, as well as disarmed mines and other ordnance. Additionally, a magnetic survey was carried out in areas directly affected by combat operations. Overall, within the scope of this work, approximately 30 hectares of territory were surveyed under various shooting modes and conditions. As expected, a high detection rate is characteristic of target objects with a high ferrous metal content. Unfortunately, the widespread use of plastic ordnance with low iron content and the high density of craters blasts create non-target magnetic anomalies, affecting the overall detection. However, with proper planning and shooting modes, the task of detection is partially addressed. Our preliminary results allow us to draw initial conclusions about the effectiveness of the complex and identify issues that require resolution.
Control over the circulation of dual-use goods and technologies within the international regimes of non-proliferation of weapons of mass destruction
Authors: Benedyk Ya. 
Published: November 2023

International legal cooperation in the field of control over the export, transfer, transit of dual-use goods and technologies is based on a number of mechanisms of general competence (for example, the UN, WTO) and specific regimes, the core of which constitute international treaties on the non­proliferation of weapons of mass destruction (Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, Chemical Weapons Convention, Biological Weapons Convention) and related multilateral export control groups (Zanger Committee, Nuclear Suppliers Group, Australian Group).
While the mentioned international treaties define the goals and basic principles of cooperation of their parties to prevent the spread of nuclear, chemical and biological weapons, the critical task of intergovernmental export groups, capable of responding more promptly to security challenges in the light of technological progress and market dynamics, is to ensure the development and regular updating of lists of controlled goods, dissemination and exchange of best practices in this area, articulation of instructions for participating states regarding the strengthening of national export control systems.
Such a structure, promoting transparency and responsible behaviour of states, objectively increases the level of international security, ensures more profound and comprehensive cooperation and interaction of participating states, regular exchange of information on sensitive dual-use goods and technologies, which leads to a consensus on the specifics of the implementation of export control systems and harmonisation of national policies and regulatory mechanisms. At the same time, taking into account the "softness” of obligations arising from the activities of specialised export groups, the effectiveness of the control mechanism depends on the goodwill of the participating states and their commitment to the values and goals of these regimes and is also complicated by the limited participation of individual actors (for instance, India, Pakistan, North Korea, etc.).
The subject of municipal law as a branch of law: debatable issues of theory
Authors: Batanov O.V. 
Published: November 2023

The article examines the problems of defining the subject of municipal law as a branch of Ukrainian law. The phenomenology of municipal law is studied in the context of its genesis, development and understanding of the subject of municipal legal regulation. It is proved that the subject of municipal law as a branch of national law should be considered social relations that arise in the process of recognition, formation, organization and exercise of municipal power, as well as the realization and protection of municipal human rights. The article provides a doctrinal analysis of approaches to interpreting the content of relevant social relations. The issue of the principles and forms of implementation of municipal law was raised.
It is stated that the urgent task of the modern municipal legal doctrine is the search for the main characteristics of the subject of municipal legal regulation, that is, the generalized criterion that allows to attribute the social relationship to the number of proper municipal legal relations. Municipalism and community organization at the municipal level - the municipal system - should act as such a characteristic.
For the first time, it was proposed to introduce the category «municipal system» into scientific circulation. According to the author, the municipal system is a system of social relations and principles related to the exercise by territorial communities of their functions and powers as the primary subject of local self-government, as well as the implementation of historical, socio­economic, spiritual-cultural, ethno-national and other features and traditions of their municipal life, which are recognized and protected by the Constitution and other acts of positive law. It is a kind of system-conglomerate structure, a synergistic combination of the principles of local self-government and heterogeneous elements and processes of municipal life (human rights, freedom, democracy, power, territory, property, etc.). It is claimed that the municipal system is one of the basic criteria for the formation of the subject of modern municipal law.
Legal restrictions on the turnover of agricultural land
Authors: Korniyenko G. , Shulga M. 
Published: November 2023

It is indicated that the proper functioning of the agricultural land market, introduced from 01.07.2021, is possible if there is a clear, detailed and complete mechanism of legal regulation of the relevant social relations. This mechanism should be clear to both the owners of agricultural land plots and the purchasers. However, certain legislative provisions are ambiguously perceived and understood in society, and in the absence of accumulated practice of applying legislation on the land market, a number of questions remain open. This applies, in particular, to the limitations established by the legislator regarding the circle of participants in the market circulation of agricultural land, the legal form of the alienation of land plots, the area of land plots acquired by subjects of preferential right and other market participants, etc.
The article provides a systematic analysis of the legislative provisions relating to legal restrictions in the sphere of agricultural land turnover, and identifies legal issues related to limitation of the circle of potential acquirers of land plots (individuals and legal entities), restrictions on the total area of land plots which may be acquired by individuals and legal entities, and restrictions on the legal form of alienation of agricultural land plots in the context of the land market. The author also analyzes the situation related to the exercise by lessees of the preemptive right to purchase leased land plots by legal entities established by foreigners. The authors substantiate the ways of solving these problems. They argue that the legislatively enshrined restrictions on the right of ownership of agricultural land are due to the need to ensure the public interest, since land, being the main national wealth, is under special protection of the state. At the same time, the authors believe that the legislator should not only create conditions for preventing and preventing legislation regulating relations on the agricultural land market, but also ensure transparent and fair competition of all participants in the agricultural land market.
Problematic aspects of procedures related to monitoring and registration of tax invoices
Authors: Krylov D. 
Published: November 2023

One of the effective means of countering the illegal reduction of tax liabilities is the electronic administration of VAT, an integral part of which is the system of monitoring and registration of tax invoices. It is aimed at preventing the artificial formation of a tax credit based on transactions that did not actually exist. However, along with the obvious advantages of automated monitoring, the existing system contains shortcomings and risks, as well as systemic problems that cause regular violations of the rights of VAT payers. The task of the state in these conditions is to find a fair balance between the fiscal interests of the state and a sufficient level of protection of the rights and legitimate interests of taxpayers.
Stopping the registration of a tax invoice is an intermediate stage of the registration procedure, but it is important, because if the necessary documents and explanations are not submitted, the stop becomes a prerequisite for refusing to register the invoice. Considering that the suspension of registration imposes an additional obligation on the taxpayer, it is important to observe the principle of legal certainty already at the stage of formation of receipts on suspension of registration.
It is proposed to finalize the Procedure for stopping the registration of a tax invoice/ calculation of adjustment in the Unified Register of Tax Invoices: to provide for an additional check by an employee of the controlling body of the existence of grounds for stopping the registration of a tax invoice. The receipt for the suspension of registration must contain a comprehensive list of documents and explanations that should be provided to the taxpayer for registration of the tax invoice.
In addition, it is proposed to make changes to the form of the decision on refusal to register a tax invoice, namely, to add a description of the requirements of the law in the documents provided by the taxpayer, indicating the document in which the violation was committed, as well as a reference to the legal norms that were violated, and justification of the relationship between the committed violation and the riskiness of the transaction.
