Resource Potential of Volunteers With Professional Knowledge for the Development of Regional Socially Oriented Non-Profit Organizations in Russia
Authors: Obukhov Konstantin N. 
Published: November 2023

This article discusses the work models that have arisen in the non-profit sector of Russian regions, including those that involve volunteers with specialized professional knowledge and skills. The socio-economic situation is currently leading to a general lack of resources, especially in the socially oriented non-profit organizations of the regions. One of the channels for additional capacity attraction for SO NPOs is the appeal for free assistance to professional volunteers in certain areas. In this regard, it is important to find ways to attract and work with such professionals, since simple financial motivation is excluded from the process of functioning. Accordingly, this article focuses on the issue of finding effective models to organize the activities of volunteers with professional skills in regional SO NPOs. Materials obtained in a series of 29 semi-structured interviews with the managers of regional SO NPOs show that the main models of work with volunteers have been developed in Russia. As a result of attracting volunteers on a gratuitous basis, organizations manage to cover the demand for rare specialists, quickly solve the arising problems that go beyond the specialization of SO NPOs, and gain access to innovative technologies for their activities.
Contradictions in the Development of the Welfare Non-Profit Sector in Russia
Authors: Borodkina Olga I. , Starshinova Alevtina V. , Borodkin Maksim A. 
Published: November 2023

The article focuses on the core contradictions within the development of the social non-profit sector in Russia. The empirical basis of the study comprises statistical data, legal documents regulating the social services’ sphere, research data from previous studies conducted in Russia, as well as qualitative data collected for this study. The introduction provides background information on the stages of reforming the social service system in Russia. The first part is devoted to the contradictions between international trends and Russian patterns. In line with a neoliberal approach, non-profit NGOs play a significant role as key actors in social work providing social services for different client groups. At the same time, they are not independent and Russian civil society is not yet strong enough to realize social rights of citizens. In the next section, some of the key issues of interaction between the government and NGOs are discussed. An analysis of the current situation demonstrates that while a social partnership between the state and NGOs is affirmed by authorities on official level, in practice, the state still dominates the social sector. The article then focuses on how Russian NGOs have reoriented their efforts toward financial sustainability through government support.

Authors: Syeda Fakrunnisa Begum  , G. Savithri  
Published: November 2023

The study focused on understanding the impact of Beauveria bassiana infection on the haemotological parameters such as pH, specific gravity and rate of pulsation of the economically significant silkworm, Bombyx mori. Silkworms, due to centuries of domestication, have developed sensitivity to environmental conditions and various micro-pathogens affecting their nutrition, metabolism, and physiological aspects of haemolymph. The researchers used the bivoltine double hybrid silkworm race (CSR2 X CSR27) X (CSR6 X CSR 26) for the investigation. The results revealed that the pH levels of the haemolymph on the first day of the fifth instar in healthy silkworms were 6.615, and on the sixth day, they were 6.596. In the experimental batch, there was a drastic reduction from the first day (6.590) to the second day (6.253), which gradually increased until the fourth day (6.426) of the instar and gradually decreased on the fifth (6.398) and sixth days (6.374). A lower level of specific gravity of the haemolymph was noticed on the first day (1.024) of the 5th instar in silkworms inoculated with Beauveria bassiana. Then a gradual increase was observed till the sixth day (1.038) of the 5th instar. Conversely, in the healthy silkworms, there was a gradual decline in the specific gravity of the haemolymph from the first day (1.025) to the sixth day (1.012) of the fifth instar. The pulse rate in silkworms parasitized by Beauveria bassiana showed a significant increase from the first day (35) to the second day (48), followed by a gradual decrease to the sixth day (32) of the instar. But in control silkworms, the heart rate increased gradually from the first day (35) to the fifth day (45) of the instar and then suddenly decreased on the sixth day (38).
Photodynamic therapy of cerebral glioma – long term survival
Authors: Rynda A. Ya. , Olyushin V. E. , Rostovtsev D. M. 
Published: November 2023

Abstract.
Article describes the survival of patients treated in the Russian Polenov Research Institute for Neurosurgery, who used photodynamic therapy after surgical resection of the tumor. The survival median for patients in subgroup of Grade III glioma with photodynamic therapy was 40,4±7,4months; without photodynamic therapy – 23,4±3,9 months (р 0,01). The survival median for patients in subgroup of Grade IV glioma with photodynamic therapy was 21,3±5,1 months; without photodynamic therapy – 13,7±3,7 months (р0,01). Thus, it is possible to draw a conclusion from the data obtained in this research that, photodynamic therapy can lead to increase in a median of survival at patients with malignant gliomas. The use of photodynamic therapy in the complex treatment of patients with malignant glial tumors increases median survival. The use of intraoperative photodynamic therapy with photoditazin improves the indices of disease-free survival of patients with malignant brain gliomas of supratentorial localization. Photodynamic therapy using photoditazin seems promising for further use and application in the treatment of patients with glial brain tumors.

Authors: Myszka Anna , Wolski Adrian , Wawrzeniuk Joanna , Tomczyk Jacek 
Published: November 2023

The aim of the study is to evaluate the frequency of spina bifida oculta (SBO) in the early modern population from Dąbrówki (Poland); 26 males, 19 females, 3 adults with unspecified sex, 2 subadult were taken into the analysis. SBO was found in 9 individuals (18%), of whom only one exhibited a complete cleft in the sacrum (2%). In males, SBO was reported in 7 out of 26 skeletons studied (27%). Complete cleft was observed in one individual (4%), partial cleft in 6 individuals (23%). In females, no case of complete cleft was detected (0%), and one case of partial cleft was found (5%). These differences between males and females in the frequency of this skeletal condition were statistically significant.Due to the lack of uniform methods for SBO analyses, the inability to make interpopulation compari-sons, the relatively high prevalence of the SBO phenomenon in ancient and modern populations, and the unclear etiology of the disease, research on SBO should be continued.

Pensar de otro modo
Authors: Pulido Cortés Óscar , Suárez Vaca María Teresa , Espinel Bernal Óscar Orlando 
Published: November 2023

La preocupación transversal, presente en cada uno de los análisis que componen el presente libro, se pueda formular en términos de ahondar en la comprensión de los cambios de perspectiva suscitada por la ampliación de la caja de herramientas foucaultianas, y en reconocer los nuevos estudios que, desde esta perspectiva, se han desarrollado en el campo educativo y pedagógico. En este orden de ideas, podemos señalar tres grandes líneas de debate en la articulación de los trabajos aquí presentados. En primer lugar, un eje de discusión que podríamos suscribir en la relación saber-poder y la permanencia exploración de las herramientas arqueológicas y genealógicas para pensar e investigar en Educación y Pedagogía. En un segundo momento la mirada metodológica se desplaza al poder y, con ello, la pregunta se desplaza a la comprensión de las tácticas y las estrategias del poder. El poder, para Foucault, es una relación de fuerzas, o más bien, toda relación de fuerza es una relación de poder. Un tercer escenario que ha convocado la discusión gira en torno a las contribuciones de otros pensadores al campo de la educación y la Pedagogía en diálogo con los planteamientos foucaultianos.

La Innovación Territorial como perspectiva dinámica de la Vida Territorial Sostenible
Authors: Caro Moreno Julio César 
Published: November 2023

Esta propuesta —que representa una mirada alternativa— interpreta una visión geográfica que da prioridad a los procesos y efectos multidimensionales de la innovación en pro del buen vivir. El principal objetivo de esta investigación ha sido el de establecer una metodología y su respectiva aplicación, para determinar el nivel de innovación territorial, desde la perspectiva de la Vida Territorial Sostenible (en adelante VTS) para los departamentos que conforman el territorio de la República de Colombia.La perspectiva de la VTS propone que los actores territoriales sean quienes decidan y ejecuten el manejo de lo propio de manera ordenada y participativa, con el desarrollo de actividades en función de su potencial y su vocación, planificada, sostenible, aprovechando las oportunidades dadas por su localización y patrimonio territorial (físico, ambiental, cultural, simbólico y relacional), integradora de todos los elementos enunciados en función del equilibrio entre las dimensiones del sistema territorial.La innovación territorial (en adelante IT), se define como un proceso convergente y creador de nuevos o mejorados valores territoriales (socioculturales, ambientales, económicos y políticos) que generan ciertas dinámicas e integraciones dimensionales con grupos y sectores sociales que interactúan y modifican su entorno, que valoran el ambiente y apuntan sus esfuerzos hacia una vida más justa en los aspectos sociales, económicos y políticos, todo bajo la perspectiva de la VTS.En tal sentido, se ha aplicado el método inductivo sistematizado en cuatro fases principales: en la primera, de tinte teórico-conceptual, se lleva a cabo el procedimiento analítico-descriptivo que desarrolla los conocimientos teóricos y cognitivos, formulando una teoría basada en la IT y en la VTS. La segunda fase, metodológico-técnica, determina los indicadores, pilares, variables y clústeres departamentales, que evidencien el nivel de IT-VTS. Por su parte, la fase tres, de validación y elaboración, evalúa el IT a través de su aplicación a nivel departamental. Finalmente, la cuarta fase de transferencia presenta las principales conclusiones a las que se ha arribado.

SoTL in Human Movement Sciences: Moving Forward in South Africa
Authors: Schreck Cornelia , Du Plessis Alretha , Coetzee Dané , Bisschoff Christo , Oosthuizen Jacobus , Kahts-Kramer Samantha 
Published: November 2023

The Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) is an emerging focus within South Africa (SA). In Human Movement Sciences (HMS) in SA, research is primarily discipline-specific, and many researchers are unfamiliar with SoTL. To explore how we (as HMS lecturers) could integrate SoTL into our research, we formed a community of practice (CoP). The SoTL unicycle depiction of Swart et al. (2016) suited our visual analogy since the focus of HMS is on the human body that is in motion. For us, the unicycle represented HMS SoTL in motion. Swart et al. (2016) viewed the SoTL movement as an academic’s individual journey, whereas we saw SoTL from a CoP perspective. Therefore, we adapted the unicycle into a tandem bicycle, representing our collaborative engagements. Participatory action learning and action research (PALAR) formed our theoretical framework. Through our dialogue, each tandem wheel’s focus emerged. The back wheel was about deciding to SoTL (or not). This became a linchpin of our critical dialogue during the relationship-building phase of our CoP. Once we committed, we needed to learn how to keep our CoP moving forward. This became the middle wheel of our tandem bicycle. Next, the front wheel and handlebar became our guide into what the future of SoTL would be for us. The tandem bicycle, therefore, represents our collective cycles of learning as we became SoTL researchers. We believe our learning can support others transitioning from discipline-specific research to engaging in SoTL.

Seismic Facies Analysis, 3D Horizon Mapping, Source and Reservoir Rock Characteristics of the Paleocene Sequence in Potwar Basin, Pakistan: with Emphasis on Petroleum Potential Prospect
Authors: Ali Shah Syed Bilawal 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
—This study presents a comprehensive analysis of the Balkassar oilfield in the Potwar Basin, Pakistan. It integrates seismic reflection data, a 3D subsurface horizon model, and geochemical and petrophysical data. Evaluating the Lockhart Formation’s geochemical properties using well cuttings reveals consistent patterns of relatively low to fair total organic carbon (TOC). S2 values suggest a fair generation potential with a mixed Type II–III kerogen composition. Seismic facies analysis identifies five distinct categories with parallel attributes. Horizons from lower Permian to Eocene show varying amplitudes and prevalent parallel to wavy internal configurations. Geometries, mainly sheet-to-wedge, enhance stratigraphic understanding. The 3D seismic interpretation reveals the Lockhart Formation’s structural traits, with pronounced northwest dip and gentler southeast inclination. Faults flanking the formation truncate its limbs. A significant contour closure in the northwest, confined by fault boundaries, signifies attractive hydrocarbon potential. Petrophysical analysis indicates an average 9.17% porosity. Dominated by limestone, the formation shows average water saturation of around 25.29% and hydrocarbon saturation of roughly 74.71%, indicating favorable reservoir properties. The Lockhart Formation holds promise as a reservoir rock within the Potwar Basin, though its source rock suitability is limited. This study enhances understanding of Balkassar’s geological complexities and contributes to knowledge of hydrocarbon exploration in the Potwar Basin.
Bioreactor Development for Skeletal Muscle Hypertrophy and Atrophy by Manipulating Uniaxial Cyclic Strain: Proof of Concept
Authors: Kamal Khaled , Othman Mariam , Kim Joo-Hyun , Lawler John 
Published: November 2023

Abstract

Skeletal muscles overcome terrestrial, gravitational loading by producing tensile forces that produce movement through joint rotation. Conversely, the microgravity of spaceflight reduces tensile loads in working skeletal muscles, causing an adaptive muscle atrophy. Unfortunately, the design of stable, physiological bioreactors to model skeletal muscle tensile loading during spaceflight experiments remains challenging. Here, we tested a novel bioreactor that uses initiation and cessation of cyclic, tensile strain to induce hypertrophy and atrophy, respectively, in murine lineage (C2C12) skeletal muscle myotubes. Uniaxial cyclic stretch of myotubes was conducted using a StrexCell® (STB-1400) stepper motor system (0.75 Hz, 12% strain, 60 min/day). Myotube groups were assigned as follows: (a) quiescent over 2- or (b) 5-day (no stretch), (c) experienced 2-days (2dHY) or (d) 5-days (5dHY) of cyclic stretch, or (e) 2-days of cyclic stretch followed by a 3-day cessation of stretch (3dAT). Using ß-sarcoglycan as a sarcolemmal marker, mean myotube diameter increased significantly following 2dAT (51%) and 5dAT (94%) vs. matched controls. The hypertrophic, anabolic markers talin and Akt phosphorylation (Thr308) were elevated with 2dHY but not in 3dAT myotubes. Inflammatory, catabolic markers IL-1ß, IL6, and NF-kappaB p65 subunit were significantly higher in the 3dAT group vs. all other groups. The ratio of phosphorylated FoxO3a/total FoxO3a was significantly lower in 3dAT than in the 2dHY group, consistent with elevated catabolic signaling during unloading. In summary, we demonstrated proof-of-concept for a spaceflight research bioreactor, using uniaxial cyclic stretch to produce myotube hypertrophy with increased tensile loading, and myotube atrophy with subsequent cessation of stretch.

Published: November 2023

Abstract
While we pay more attention to pests that cause impactful and easy-to-view symptoms, stink bugs have seriously harmed crops, even if the attacks are not as visible. We aimed to determine if Pentatomidae stink bugs were present in maize crops under field conditions in the present study. The experiment was performed in a completely randomized block design (RCBD) with a total of 36 treatments, four varieties (T1: ‘SP1’, T2: ‘Namuli’, T3: ‘ZM523’, and T4: ‘ZM09’), nine phenological stages, three replications and in a split-plot arrangement. Visual observations and respective insect infestation counts were performed in the central row of each treatment. Four species of phytophagous stink bugs (Pentatomidae) able to cause economic losses in maize were selected. All four species of phytophagous stink bugs, Dichelops spp., Euschistus heros, Nezara viridula and Halyomorpha halys, were found in maize crops on-station in Sussundenga, but adult populations of the species Euschistus heros and Halyomorpha halys had a significant occurrence in the phenological stages of maize. The treatments with maize hybrids were the ones that registered the most presence of stink bugs compared to the Open-pollinated varieties (OPVs). Higher stink bug frequencies were recorded for Euschistus heros.
