Published: December 2023

Wild-growing species of the genus Iris L. are perennial rhizomatous plants better known for decorative properties and promising plants as sources of medicinal raw materials. Irises contain essential oil, isoflavones, flavonoids, carotenoids, various organic acids, and tannins. The rhizomes of some irises have an immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, tonic effect, exhibit antiviral, acaricidal, antifungal activity. Medicinal and ornamental properties characterized by six species I. alberti, I. lactea, I. ruthenica, I. sogdiana, I. songarica, I. tenuifolia out of 11 irises from southeast of Kazakhstan which grow within Almaty administrative region in different ecological conditions (from foothills and mountain slope North Tian Shan up to steppe zones of Balkhash Alakol basin). The objects of research were 3 wild species of Iris L., growing in the southeast of Kazakhstan. The goal of this research is a comparative anatomical and morphological study of the roots of species Iris alberti Regel (1, 2 populations), I. pallasii Fisch. ex Trevir., I. sogdiana Bunge from natural populations of southeastern Kazakhstan. Field studies of wild populations of the Iris species were carried out by the route-reconnaissance method. Geobotanical methods were used to describe plant communities with the participation of research objects. Microscopic studies of the roots were carried out by conventional procedure. As a result of the anatomical and morphological study, we found that pronounced mesophytic features of the anatomical structure of the plant species are associated with an increase in the diameter of the central cylinder and the diameter of the xylem vessels. The highest degree of development of conducting tissue indicates an increased moisture gradient. The pronounced thickness of the primary cortex indicates the presence of xerophytic features of the anatomical structure. These results indicate the relationship between the ecological conditions of the studied Iris species growth and features of a primary anatomical structure of its root.

YARN TENSION IN THE PROCESS OF ROTOR SPINNING
Authors: Lotka Monika , Jackowski Tadeusz 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
Yarn tension is a phenomenon of fundamental importance for rotor yarn formation. The problem of dynamic tensions during spinning is of essential importance, as it may result in the possible decrease in yarn quality parameters, such as irregularity of linear density, elongation, tenacity, and the number of faults. We analysed the parameter dependencies which characterise sliver feeding the spinning machine, as well as the dependencies of linear density of the product manufactured on the tension which appears during the process of rotor spinning. This research fragment, on the basis of which the influence of the yarn’s linear density on the tension estimated, is discussed in this paper. The measuring method and equipment used is presented.

MICROWAVE IRRADIATION TECHNIQUE TO ENHANCE PROTEIN FIBRE PROPERTIES
Authors: Tsukada Masuhiro , Islam Shafiul , Arai Takayuki , Boschi Alessandra , Freddi Giuliano 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
Microwave irradiation technique was used for the chemical modification and grafting of protein fibrous materials, such as domestic silk (Bombyx mori), tussah silk (Antheraea pernyi), and wool fibres. Epoxide compounds Denacol EX810 and EX313 reacted effectively with the protein substrates. As alkali catalysts, sodium hydroxide was more effective than sodium thiocyanate. The optimum concentration was 0.25 w%. Weight gain values up to 8% were attained with 10-15 min irradiation time at 200W power. Graftcopolymerisation of vinyl monomers onto protein fibres resulted in variable weight gains, depending on the kind of fibre, the grafting monomer used, and the concentration of the padding solution. For example, after grafting with iso-propyl methacrylate (IPMA), the weight gain of fibrous proteins took place in the following order: Bombyx mori silk > tussah silk > wool. Bombyx mori silk gained more weight with IPMA than with 2- hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) or methacrylamide (MAA). The weight gain of Bombyx mori silk with HEMA significantly increased when the initial monomer concentration was raised to 400% owf, reaching a maximum value of 40%. The tensile properties of the protein fibres grafted with IPMA, MAA, and HEMA remained unchanged or slightly improved compared to the reference fibres. Fibres modified with epoxides showed a drop in tensile performance. The surface morphology of fibres treated with epoxide compounds or graft-copolymerised with vinyl monomers was almost unaffected, with the exception of HEMA-grafted fibres, which showed the presence of homopolymer deposited onto the surface at a weight gain exceeding 20%.

SYNTHESIS AND APPLICATION OF MELAMINE UREA BASED PRECONDENSATES
Authors: Pervez Bhatti Khalid , Zuber Muhammad 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
Formaldehyde based low molecular weight precondensates (fixers) are always have very important role in processing of woven fabrics. Two important applications of these chemicals are in fixing of dyes and improvement of crease resistant behavior of fabrics. The synthesis of a series of precondensates by the reaction of formaldehyde with various percent mole ratios of melamine/urea is described which belong to the class of thermosetting resins. The dyed cotton specimens were impregnated with fixers and cured at 150°C for 3 minutes using acetic acid curing catalyst. The rubbing fastness to crocking, color fastness to washing and light fastness is reported and found to be dependent on the fixing efficiency of precondensate to dye. Precondensate based on 50:50% mole ratio of melamine-urea-formaldehyde showed the excellent fixing efficacy. The fastness to light is found to be dependent on the aromatic character of melamine ring which obviously is due to the preferably absorption in the UV region. The fabrics with an intense color and good characteristics were obtained thus presenting a possibility for extension of the applied in practice textile precondensates.
ANALYSIS OF REGULARIZED CARD SLIVER AFTER SHORT-TERMLEVELLING PROCESS
Authors: Idzik Marek 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
Doubling of sliver has ceased to be the fundamental operation for reducing the weight irregularity of spinning halfproducts, which are decisive for the quality of yarn. Its role has now been taken over by the general use of autolevellers. After leaving the regulation zone, card sliver, whose weight irregularity is reduced by a short-term autoleveller, undergoes a process of relaxation. This phenomenon takes place only in the case of regulated sliver. Unregulated slivers passing through a leveller operating with constant draft show few relaxing properties. One reason why autolevelled card sliver has such relaxing properties may be the variation of the drafting force caused by the continually changing draft. The performance of the short-term card autoleveller cannot be unequivocally evaluated. The main difficulty lies in the time span between levelling and measurement, during which the sliver undergoes relaxation. How quickly the autolevelled card sliver is fed to the next machine in the yarn manufacturing process is therefore important, because in the intervening time the initial irregularity of the product may undergo uncontrolled changes.

Published: December 2023

Abstract
Modern textile and clothing manufacturers can today use the entire range of conventional CAD/CAM systems together with new computer graphics and Internet-based technologies in order to strengthen their position on the market, building a completely new electronic-business offer. Graphical presentation of textile products and processing, or visualisation, presents a promising technology that can be treated as a potential enrichment of conventional computer aided technologies used today by the majority of advanced producers of textile fabrics, clothing, and other textile products. The article presents the results of research on designing computer software for visualising the fabric dyeing process. The program package produced enables the effective visualisation of two fabric dyeing processes: a Pad-Batch machine line for dyeing flat textiles in open-width state, and an HT overflow dyeing machine for fabric dyeing in rope form. Graphical applications of both dyeing processes can be used for both industrial and educational purposes. In this article, we focus more on presenting the program structure and functionalities for using the software to support the education of textile students.
Understanding the impostor phenomenon in graduate nursing students
Authors: Scanlan Judith Marlene , Laurencelle Francine , Plohman James 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
Intuitively, nurse educators know that graduate students in both master’s and doctoral programs question their ability to succeed. The impostor phenomenon (IP) is an internalized sense of inadequacy and fear of being seen as a fraud in the presence of external indicators of authentic achievement, and experienced by high achieving, successful individuals. Fifty-three percent (49/93) of graduate students completed the CIPS survey, and 11 master’s (regular streams & nurse practitioner) and two doctoral students participated in focus group interviews. The quantitative results showed that 88 % of participants experienced moderate to intense impostor phenomenon. Two themes emerged in the qualitative analysis: (i) experiencing the imposter phenomenon and (ii) managing feeling like an impostor. Descriptions of IP were similar across the three groups of participants. This research provides a foundational understanding of how IP is experienced by graduate nursing students.
Teaching ultrasound in osteopathic medical schools
Authors: Slyvka Yuriy , Gwilym Jennifer L. 
Published: December 2023

Abstract

Context
An important diagnostic tool, ultrasound (US) has been incorporated into the curriculum of medical schools for more than 20 years. In the last decade, the interest in US educational research has experienced exponential growth but mostly from Medical Doctor (MD)-granted schools. The extent to which US is embedded in the curricula of the colleges of osteopathic medicine (COM) still requires a comprehensive evaluation.

Objectives
This survey is designed to evaluate the current status of US teaching in COMs with an emphasis on the inclusion of the US in osteopathic manipulative medicine (OMM) training.

Methods
An anonymous, voluntary, 22-question online survey was created and administered to all COMs to collect data about the current state of US teaching. A descriptive analysis was performed to describe and summarize the final data. Fisher’s exact test was utilized for the comparison of study variables.

Results
We received responses from 36 of the 43 (83.7 %) COMs invited to participate in the survey, all of which had US training within their curriculum, most commonly integrated into the year 1 curriculum (86.1 %). Focused US training is incorporated into 83.3 % of these schools (30 of 36). Focused US training is covered in 83.3 % of schools (30 of 36). US is mostly taught in the anatomy course (38.8 %). US is incorporated in the OMM course in 12 of 36 schools (33.3 %). The majority of respondents feel that US training will make osteopathic students more competitive in the job market (88.9 %) and want more US in their curriculum (86.1 %). The idea that US is useful for a better understanding of the key OMM concepts is believed by 62.9 % of respondents. The major obstacle to the implementation of US in the curriculum is having appropriately trained faculty (86.1 %). The majority of the respondents did not feel that an adequate budget is a handicap to implementing US in the curriculum.

Conclusions
US is included within the curriculum of all respondents to our survey, a third of whom included US within their OMM curriculum. US is treated as a useful and important skill for future osteopathic physicians. The majority of COMs desire more US training in the curriculum. The main barrier to implementing US in the curriculum is the lack of appropriately trained faculty.

ΛCDM and the principle of equivalence
Authors: Melia Fulvio 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
There is growing evidence that the net acceleration of the Universe over its entire history is essentially zero. This finding is critical in light of a recent examination of the Friedmann–Lemaître–Robertson–Walker (FLRW) metric using the local flatness theorem (LFT) in general relativity, which argues that FLRW is consistent with the principle of equivalence only if the total energy density

and pressure

p

p

satisfy the zero active mass condition,

. This equation-of-state produces zero acceleration, and significantly mitigates the growing tension between lambda cold dark matter (

CDM) and the ever-improving observations. This article takes an alternative approach to this critical issue and directly tests the expansion rate predicted by the standard model against the requirements of the LFT. It demonstrates that

CDM simply does not satisfy the principle of equivalence. Some of the many important consequences of this outcome are discussed in the conclusions.
Gender-affirming care and endocrine-related cancers
Authors: Harty Roger , Safer Joshua D 
Published: December 2023

Graphical abstract

Abstract
With the increasing number of transgender and gender diverse (TGD) individuals who are seeking gender-affirming care, there is a clear need for the development and collection of evidence-based data to establish guidelines for patient care. TGD individuals are estimated to represent 0.3 to 4.5% of the world population. Gender-affirming care that includes hormone therapy helps to align the body of a transgender person with their gender identity. Hormone therapy requires monitoring for both safety and efficacy. The extent to which gender-affirming hormone therapy alters cancer risk remains unknown. Because of a lack of comprehensive data collection pertaining to this patient population, endocrine cancer data including incidence and outcomes is limited. Dedicated research is needed to help address the gap in knowledge pertaining to the risk of cancer in the TGD population.

Field experiments were conducted at Sugarcane Research Station, to find out the field efficacy of ecofriendly management of lesion nematode, Pratylenchus zeae in sugarcane. The experiment was laid out in randomized block design with thirteen treatments replicated three times. The initial nematode population was assessed prior to planting by analysing the soil samples. Soil samples were collected on 90, 180, 270 and 360 days after planting the cane. The soil samples were processed and analyzed for nematode population. The germination percentage was counted on 35 days after planting. The tiller count was taken up on 90 days after planting. Cane samples were collected on 10th month and analyzed the juice for commercial cane sugar percentage. The pooled analysis of the two years, main and ratoon crop data revealed significant reduction in the population of lesion nematode, Pratylenchus zeae in sugarcane plants treated with Carbofuran 3G 1kg a.i/ha followed by neem cake @ 2t/ha and Purpureocillium lilacinum 2.5kg/ha. Significant reduction in nematode population was observed upto harvest of the crop. The above treatment also significantly enhanced the cane yield. The treatment Carbofuran @ 1kg a.i/ha, neem cake 2t/ha and Purpureocillium lilacinum 2.5kg/ha resulted 79.87, 77.65 and 75.94 percent reduction in lesion nematode population over control. The above treatments also enhanced the no. of millable cane/ha, cane yield, sugar yield, commercial cane sugar and benefit cost ratio. The cost benefit ratio worked out for the treatments Carbofuran @ 1kg a.i/ha, neem cake 2t/ha and Purpureocillium lilacinum resulted 1:2.89, 1:2.66 and 1:2.58 respectively.
AMOR, ERÓTICA, MÍSTICA E ÉTICA: O DESENVOLVIMENTO ESPIRITUAL HUMANO
Authors: Oliveira Stephan Malta 
Published: December 2023

Considerando a estreita relação existente entre sentido para a vida e espiritualidade, busco com o presente artigo investigar como se dá o desenvolvimento espiritual humano, sua íntima relação com a constituição da subjetividade e a importância dos fenômenos do amor e da erótica neste processo. O referencial teórico situa-se numa interface entre a filosofia, a psicanálise e a teologia cristã. Utilizo como metodologia a revisão narrativa, por meio da qual foram selecionados textos dos seguintes pensadores: Hans Balthasar, Marion, Lévinas, Platão, Freud e Edith Stein. As relações amorosas (eros-ágape), sobretudo, o amor incondicional entre pais e filhos/as, são fundamentais para a constituição da subjetividade. Problemas nesta constituição mantém o sujeito fixado na busca pela satisfação das necessidades narcísicas. Quando o sujeito se sente suficientemente amado (no sentido qualitativo), abre-se à dimensão espiritual, no despertar simultâneo da consciência mística e ética, tomando posição a partir do seu núcleo pessoal.
