Authors: Maswadah M. 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
Structural inference has been applied to the Fréchet distribution based on the dual generalized order statistics. The coverage rate and the covering symmetry of the structural intervals have been derived. Some statistical measures for the parameters, such as mean, variance, skewness, and kurtosis, have been studied for different values of the shape parameter via Monte Carlo simulations. Finally, a numerical example is presented to illustrate the structural method that was developed here.
Intergalactic Interactions - Network Biology in Rodents from Spaceflight and Terra Firma
Authors: Hacking Sean M. , Sargin Zeynep Ecem 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
This study, utilizing data from the NASA Gene Lab Data Repository, investigates the impact of spaceflight on rodents, analyzing changes in lung, colorectal, and skin tissues. We examined RNA-seq data from rodents that had experienced space flight, comparing them with control groups that remained on Earth. Our focus was to better decipher the molecular alterations induced by the unique conditions of space. A comprehensive initial cohort of rodents was selected, ensuring the integrity and completeness of genomic data. We employed Proteinarium, a sophisticated multi-sample analysis tool, to explore and compare protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks between space flight-exposed and control rodents. This approach allowed us to identify significant clusters and distinct PPI networks in the space flight group, which were not present in the control group. Our results revealed that space flight leads to unique molecular changes, with certain genes becoming upregulated in response to the extraterrestrial environment. These changes were tissue-specific, indicating varied physiological responses across different organ systems. We also identified distinct gene hub targets for drug repurposing, which could be evaluated in future studies. The present study contributes to a deeper understanding of how spaceflight affects living organisms at the molecular level, providing insights that could inform future space missions and enhance our knowledge of biological systems in spaceflight environments.

Published: December 2023

The relevance of the research topic lies in the need at the current stage of aggravation of international relations to resist the increasing attempts to falsify the history of the Great Patriotic War, its course, results and results. The liberation mission of the Red Army in Europe began with the Uman-Botoshan offensive operation of the 2nd Ukrainian Front, during which Soviet troops reached the state border of the USSR and began to liberate Romania. The question of the completion date of the operation is associated with an objective assessment of its result, as opposed to a number of biased positions that exist in domestic and foreign historical science.The purpose of the study is to establish the end date of the Uman-Botosha offensive operation of the 2nd Ukrainian Front (1944).Objectives: to identify the existing chronology options for the Uman-Botosha operation in Soviet, Russian and foreign historiography, to compare and evaluate their validity.Methodology. The research was based on the principles of objectivity, historicism and consistency. The author used a complex of general scientific and special historical methods in his work: analytical, critical, comparative historical, problem-chronological, retrospective.Results. It has been established that in the research, encyclopedic, reference literature of the period of the late 1950s early 2020s. three different dates for the end of the operation appear: April 6, April 17 and May 6, 1944. In addition, a number of domestic and foreign historians introduced the concepts of the Targu-Frumos frontal offensive operation and the First Iasi-Chisinau strategic offensive operation, the scale and timing of the which do not coincide with each other, but overlap with the most common dating options for the Uman-Botosha offensive operation.Conclusions. The author sees the possibility of resolving the subject-chronological problem that has developed in historiography in a new appeal to archival and published documentary materials.

Authors: Фрезинская Наталия , Сергеев Кирилл 
Published: December 2023

Статья посвящена проблемам пространственной организации науки в Санкт-Петербурге XVIII века. Отмечаются особенности ситуации, которая возникает, когда возраст столичного научного центра почти не отстаёт от возраста столицы. Характеризуются важнейшие объекты науки и в их числе – Академия наук и художеств. Становление сети этих объектов рассматривается на фоне развития планировочной структуры города. Отмечено влияние технологии производственных процессов на выбор площадок, пригодных для выполнения исследований.
Градостроительному комплексу, возникшему на базе Академии наук и художеств, уделяется особое внимание. На основании сохранившихся документов реконструируется схема расселения её сотрудников на территории Васильевского острова. Отмечается недостаток денежных средств, необходимых для нового строительства – им объяснялась практика покупки для нужд Академии уже построенных зданий или найма квартир. Подчёркивается постепенное преодоление возникавших труд-ностей, сопутствовавшее успехам исследовательской деятельности: для науки в городе началось строительство новых зданий, в проектировании которых учёные принимали активное участие.

The success criteria of any program, largely revolves around the success of its graduate in the practical field. The teaching practicum gives such opportunities for the prospective teachers to acquire desired teaching skills for a successful -career. The purpose of this study was to explore the experiences of the prospective teachers during teaching practicum by highlighting the opportunities and challenges. As private schools have been recently added to the pool of schools for practicum, therefore the study was delimited to the practicum in private schools that takes place during the third year of their program. Data was collected from 15 prospective teachers of three batches with help of semi-structured interviews. The data analysis was done through initial coding and then classifying codes into four themes. The emerging themes revealed opportunities in organized environments, infrastructure with facilities, and rigorous learning. Whereas the obstacles included allocation of classes, work pressure and trust concerns of cooperative teachers. However, the challenges didn’t shadow the learning of prospective teachers and served as much needed experience needed to be successful in future. This research aims to assist teacher educators and policymakers in harnessing the full potential of teaching practicum to cultivate a skilled workforce, ultimately enhancing the quality of education.

Abstract

OBJECTIVE
Design and evaluate immune responses of neonatal foals to a mRNA vaccine expressing the virulence-associated protein A (VapA) of Rhodococcus equi.

ANIMALS
Cultured primary equine respiratory tract cells; Serum, bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF), and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from 30 healthy Quarter Horse foals.

METHODS
VapA expression was evaluated by western immunoblot in cultured equine bronchial cells transfected with 4 mRNA constructs encoding VapA. The mRNA construct with greatest expression was used to immunize foals at ages 2 and 21 days in 5 groups: (1) 300 μg nebulized mRNA (n = 6); (2) 600 μg nebulized mRNA (n = 4); (3) 300 μg mRNA administered intramuscularly (IM) (n = 5); (4) 300 μg VapA IM (positive controls; n = 6); or (5) nebulized water (negative controls; n = 6). Serum, BALF, and PBMCs were collected at ages 3, 22, and 35 days and tested for relative anti-VapA IgG1, IgG4/7, and IgA activities using ELISA and cell-mediated immunity by ELISpot.

RESULTS
As formulated, nebulized mRNA was not immunogenic. However, a significant increase in anti-VapA IgG4/7 activity (P < .05) was noted exclusively in foals immunized IM with VapA mRNA by age 35 days. The proportion of foals with anti-VapA IgG1 activity > 30% of positive control differed significantly (P = .0441) between negative controls (50%; 3/6), IM mRNA foals (100%; 5/5), and IM VapA (100%; 6/6) groups. Natural exposure to virulent R equi was immunogenic in some negative control foals.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE
Further evaluation of the immunogenicity and efficacy of IM mRNA encoding VapA in foals is warranted.
Resilience in virtual education: Designing and validating a scale in higher education
Authors: Ghanizadeh Afsaneh , Yazdi Maryam Majidi 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) equips learners in all settings with the knowledge, skills, attributes, and visions essential for coping with the diverse challenges they will encounter in their educational endeavors. The emergence of COVID-19 influenced different aspects of human life including education. Thanks to technology, especially ICT, Virtual Education (VE) provides the opportunity to continue education in such crises. Amidst this pandemic, many students, especially university students, encountered various challenges and impediments that resulted from VE. One of the factors which can affect VE is learners’ resilience. Therefore, it is of high importance to measure university students’ Resilience in Virtual Education (RVE) to recognize the advantages and disadvantages of this type of education and support ESD. The main purpose of this study is to design and validate a comprehensive instrument for measuring university students’ RVE. Furthermore, to confirm the validity and reliability of the instrument, its nexus with a closely related construct, i.e., second language (L2) buoyancy was explored. To measure students’ RVE, a new scale (RVE Scale), comprising 33 items, was designed. It was designed based on the operational definition of academic resilience and was adapted to accommodate the requirements of VE. It measures six aspects of learners’ resilience: emotional, motivational, cognitive, metacognitive, persistence, and sociability. To measure L2 buoyancy, a relevant scale designed by Jahedizadeh et al. (2019) was utilized. It consists of 27 items with four factors; the factors include sustainability, regularity adaptation, positive personal eligibility, and positive acceptance of academic life. A total of 412 university students participated in the present research. The results obtained via Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) substantiated the validity of the newly designed scale and all the factors and items. The results attested to the criterion-related validity of the scale.
Design of Geotextile Reinforced Gravel Roads Using Giroud and Han Approach for Indian Condition
Authors: Dheiveekan Jayalakshmi , Bhosale S.S. 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
Sustainable pavement is the need of the hour using the mechanistic and robust pavement design approach, eliminating empiricism in the present IRC SP 72-2015 design guidelines, if any. Giroud and Han (2004) (GH) approach has confirmed existing empiricism in IRC SP 72-2015 design guidelines and permits the use of locally available material, thus saving transportation costs and reducing air pollution. IRC SP 72 – 2015 recommends design thickness only for the unreinforced condition in gravel roads for the maximum rut of 50mm. This paper presents the comparative study of an unreinforced and geotextile-reinforced gravel road design for Indian conditions with the rut as a vital design parameter using the GH method for subgrade classes with 2% to 5% CBR and the maximum traffic count of 100,000. The proposed unique equation provides Allowable Rut Depth (ARD) based aggregate thickness for 10,000 to 100,000 traffic count apart from simplifying the complex procedure of the GH approach for IRC SP 72-2015 data. The unique equation’s result reveals an increase of 22.65% in aggregate thickness is attributed to the increase in ARD of 30mm using locally available poor aggregates. This confirms the practical relevance of ARD in pavement design that may help in planning maintenance programs and road rehabilitation strategies. The results obtained from the unique equation match 85 to 100% with GH results. Saving up to 36.5% to 76.9% of costly aggregate is found in the case of geotextile-reinforced gravel roads in Indian conditions.

Published: December 2023

The application of leaf extract to synthesize nanoparticles has been taken as a green method. In this study, the potential for synthesizing zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) from Clausena anisata Hook.f. ex Benth. leaf extract was investigated. The source of zinc was zinc nitrate hexahydrate (Zn(NO3)2.6H2O). The characterization study was done by Ultraviolet–visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), Transmission electron microscope (TEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). The crystalline shape of nanoparticles is disclosed inside the XRD result, morphology is confirmed through SEM effects, and consequently, the ZnO NPs scale was predicted. ZnO NPs were synthesized to work against Sitophilus zeamais adults. A mortality count was carried out in 14 days and all the 3 dosages (0.2 g, 0.4 g and 0.6 g) were effective in killing S. zeamais. F1 progeny emergence was highly reduced in comparison to untreated control. Maize seeds were successfully germinated after treatment application with ZnO NPs.
