Published: January 2025

The purpose of this article is to shed light on the decentralization of power reform in Ukraine under war conditions. In the concept of Ukrainian territorial communities, the ancient European traditions of Ukrainian local self-government and modern standards of the European Union are successfully embodied. The article is a qualitative study with a historical and comparative approach. The results of the study conclude that the effective interaction between citizens, the state and international organizations contributed to the formation of Ukrainian territorial communities. It has been shown that personal income tax is one of the main sources of replenishing the budget of the community. In the first nine months of 2022, the local budget in the Dnipropetrovsk region of Ukraine collected 16,364,124 Ukrainian hryvnia (UAH) in personal income tax, which is 34% more than in the same period of 2021. Stabilizing and restoring local self-government in Ukraine requires the introduction of a new, effective and transparent strategic planning system at three levels: state strategy - regional strategy - community strategy. To restore and stimulate regional development, the strategy development must include the identification of the following four types of functional territories: recovery territories, economic growth poles, territories with special development conditions, and territories of sustainable development.

Intergration Of Local And Islamic Architecture In Traditional Minangkabau
Authors: Mohd Shafri Mohd Affendi 
Published: January 2025

Mosque architecture is an important part in the process of Islamizing societies whose civilizations have had influences from another system of belief prior to the conversion into Islam. The mosque provides a new substitute for a place of ritual and signifies a change in the welsthanchauung where the alien concept of mosque is integrated in the new Muslim community through the incorporation and reinterpretation of local traditional symbols and architectural designs. A fieldtrip, accompanied by a local guide, to ancient Minangkabau mosques, on the Sumatera Island, Indonesia sought to examine examples of Islamicization in mosque architecture. Interview with locals were conducted, photographs were captured and observations made were cross-referenced with available literature to validate interpretation. In these mosques, old designs, thought to be of Hindu-Buddhist origin, such as the stupa (mound-like structure), gunungan (mountain-like feature) and makara (mythical sea-creature) have been retained and incorporated in mosque designs and given new Islamic interpretation. Non-religious designs with strong local affinity such as floral and vegetal motifs using local flower and plant as inspiration are utilized to increase the aesthetic value of mosque. Other examples, like the radiant sun motifs that is peculiar only to Malay mosque, is thought to carry symbolic Islamic meaning whereas gonjong roof (buffalo horn-shaped roof), is incorporated for both cultural identity and functional purposes. In addition, new components, symbols and designs were introduced from other Islamic civilization; examples include features such as crescent and naâ€™al (sandal) motifs.

The chapter is devoted to the study of some aspects related to psychological and pedagogical support of medical students using the example of the Voronezh State Medical University named after N.N. Burdenko (VSMU named after N.N. Burdenko). This topic is becoming increasingly relevant every year due to the ever-increasing stress factors, including those leading to the development of depressive states and even suicide attempts, which is especially relevant among young people. The objects of the study were 200 students, men and women, of the medical faculty of VSMU named after N.N. Burdenko. All of them were divided into 2 groups depending on the course of study: group 1 included 100 1st year students, the second – 100 6th year students. The study is based on a questionnaire specially developed by the authors, including both general questions about gender, age, and special ones concerning awareness of some aspects of psychological and pedagogical support for students, as well as finding out the general attitude to psychological and pedagogical support and directly to the psychological service. The need for psychological assistance from school years to university years was studied, and cases of visiting specialists of this kind were analyzed. In addition, the number of students exposed to stress in life, school, and university was studied. Interesting features of the study were the analysis of the strongest stress factors for students of both groups, as well as the analysis of positive aspects, according to students, of psychological and pedagogical support for students. The data obtained in the chapter are of particular interest not only for psychological services and psychologists directly, but also for higher education teachers involved in the educational process with students and medical residents.
TOWARDS MULTI-AGENT PLATFORM DEVELOPMENT
Authors: KARATAIEV Oleksandr 
Published: January 2025

This paper focuses on the design and evaluation of a FIPA standard compliant multi-agent platform. The relevance of the topic is due to the growing need for flexible, reliable, and efficient software solutions capable of solving complex intelligent problems in distributed environments. The study is dedicated to the problem of developing and evaluating an agent platform using the Kotlin programming language. The main goal of this work is to design and implement a modular, scalable, and adaptive agent platform. The existing frameworks for the development of multi-agent systems are reviewed, the key components of such systems are highlighted, and the advantages of using Kotlin in the context of a multi-agent architecture are discussed. The scientific contribution of the paper is the creation of a modern FIPA-compliant multi-agent platform that exploits the advantages of the Kotlin language. The performance and resource intensity of the developed system are analyzed, and the platform's compliance with FIPA standards and its interoperability are evaluated. Two different metrics are used to ensure the quality of the system. One of the metrics is the percentage of covered code. This metric is measured using the kover library. We achieved 71.4% coverage of classes and 57.1% coverage of commands. Further coverage is complicated by the use of multi-threaded technologies. The second metric is the system's score for comments from the sonarlint evaluation tool. During development, 16 comments were identified and fixed. This allows us to achieve a high level of code quality and ensure quality for the future. The study demonstrates the potential of integrating modern language capabilities with the multi-agent paradigm, opening new perspectives for the development of efficient and scalable solutions in the area of distributed intelligent systems.

Background: Polygonati Odorait Rhizoma(PO) is the dried rhizome of Polygonatum odoratum (Mill.) Druce, which is a popular traditional health food ingredient in China and Southeast Asia. Strips and sheets are the main traditional processing products of PO, which limit the health application. Powder milling technology is helpful to improve the application value and comprehensive utilization of PO.
Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of different processing methods on the physicochemical properties of PO powders, especially enzymatically modified PO powder (EM). In addition, the study investigated the additive properties of PO powder in steamed buns.
Methods: In this study, four different PO powders were prepared using different processes named Enzyme Modified PO Powder (EM), Vacuum Microwave-Dried PO Powder (VM), Vacuum Freeze-Dried PO Powder (VF), and Traditionally Processed PO Powder (TP). Comparison of the physical properties, chemical composition and inhibitory activity against α-amylase of four different PO powders. The effects of the addition of the four PO powders on the quality of steamed buns were also compared.
Results: The results showed that the content of some functional components such as total saponin, total polysaccharide and total polyphenol, and the total flavonoid content of EM increased significantly by 74%, 127.8%, 91.2% and 125.4%, respectively, compared with TP. Among the steamed buns with PO powder added, the steamed buns with EM added had the best sensory score, ageing characteristics and fermentation characteristics. All four PO powders reduced the reducing sugar content (RSC) of the steamed buns to different extents compared to the blank steamed buns. In particular, EM reduced the RSC of the steamed buns by 27.2% compared to the blank group.
Conclusion: Overall, complex enzymatic digestion could effectively improve the functional quality and application of PO powder. EM powder showed the best performance in terms of functional quality and additive properties of steamed buns.
Novelty: This experiment was the first to compare the physical properties and functional content of PO powders in different processing methods. It was found that enzymatic modification could effectively improve the physical properties and functional content of PO powders. The sensory evaluation of steamed bread can be improved by PO powders to steamed bread.

Authors: Wang Shunda , Mu Yongrun , Zhang Jianwei , Wang Chengfeng 
Published: January 2025

BackgroundMucin family members have been reported to be widely expressed in gastric carcinoma with diverse functions. Several important mucins exert the function of tumorigenesis or progression in gastric cancer (GC). Here, we conduct this meta-analysis to evaluate the association between mucin expression and clinicopathological features in GC.MethodsLiterature searches were performed in PubMed, Embase, The Cochrane Library, and ISI Web of Science, and, finally, 28 studies met our criteria. Odds ratios or hazard ratios with 95% confidence intervals were calculated to evaluate the effect quantity. We analyzed the expression of MUC1, MUC2, MUC5AC, and MUC6 and their clinicopathological characteristics separately at the same time.ResultsTwenty-eight studies that contain 4,603 patients were included in our meta-analysis. MUC1 was associated with gender, Lauren classification, depth of tumor invasion, TNM, vascular invasion, lymph metastasis, and lymphatic invasion, WHO grade, as well as the 5-year survival rate. MUC2 was significantly correlated with lymphatic invasion and WHO grade. MUC5AC was highly positive in gender, depth of tumor invasion, WHO grade, TNM, lymph metastasis, and lymphatic invasion. Moreover, cases with decreased MUC5AC expression were correlated with less 5-year survival. MUC6 was only related with lymphatic invasion.ConclusionOur meta-analysis showed that MUC1 and MUC5AC had prognostic value in GC detected by immunohistochemistry. MUC1 and MUC5AC were also associated with some other significant clinicopathological parameters. Moreover, MUC2 and MUC6 also exert their influence in lymphatic invasion. However, further enlarged study awaits to verify our conclusion to deeply explore the role of mucin family members in GC.

Published: January 2025

Background/ObjectivesPatients with ovarian cancer commonly experience metastases and recurrences, which contribute to high mortality. Our objective was to better understand ovarian cancer metastasis and identify candidate biomarkers and drug targets for predicting and preventing ovarian cancer recurrence.MethodsTranscripts of 770 cancer-associated genes were compared in cells collected from ascitic fluid versus resected tumors of an ES-2 orthotopic ovarian cancer mouse model. Associated cell types and pathways were explored with bioinformatics. FGF7 protein was measured using capillary-based immunoassays or ELISA in mouse and clinical specimens. Significances of differential gene expression and patient prognosis were determined by volcano plot and log-rank test, respectively.ResultsTumor transcriptomes exhibited higher endothelial cells, oxygenation, proteasome activity, and metabolism in comparison to ascites, but similar percentages of cancer-associated fibroblasts and immune cells. FGF7 mRNA was significantly higher in mouse tumors compared to ascites. FGF7 protein was significantly higher in tumors than in ascites in independent mouse models and clinical specimens. Serum FGF7 protein levels above the median of 25 patients with ovarian cancer were associated with worse progression-free and overall survival (p = 0.005 and 0.019, respectively) independent of patient and tumor characteristics.ConclusionsIn comparison to ascites, tumors exhibit different transcriptomic profiles that identify candidate biomarkers and drug targets for predicting and preventing recurrence. Among these, elevated tumoral FGF7 validated at the protein level and elevated serum FGF7 were significantly associated with worse patient survival. These results support further development of FGF7 receptor-targeted drugs and serum FGF7 to prevent and predict recurrence, respectively.

Published: January 2025

IntroductionHeliconia, a genus within the Zingiberales order, is renowned for its diverse morphology, suggesting a rich genetic reservoir. However, genetic research on plants within the Heliconiaceae family has primarily focused on taxonomy and phylogenetics, with limited exploration into other genetic aspects, particularly the chloroplast genome. Given the significance of chloroplast genomes in evolutionary studies, a deeper understanding of their structure and diversity within Heliconia is essential.MethodsIn this study, we sequenced and assembled the complete chloroplast genomes of four representative Heliconia species: Heliconia bihai, Heliconia caribaea, Heliconia orthotricha, and Heliconia tortuosa. The chloroplast genomes were analyzed for structure, gene content, and nucleotide diversity. We also performed comparative analysis with other species within the Zingiberales order to investigate structural and functional differences.ResultsThe assembled chloroplast genomes of the four Heliconia species exhibited a typical quadripartite structure and ranged in length from 161,680 bp to 161,913 bp. All genomes contained 86 protein-coding genes. Comparative analysis revealed that the chloroplast genome structures of the different Heliconia species were highly conserved, with minor variations. Notably, the chloroplast genome of Heliconia was slightly shorter than those of other Zingiberales species, primarily due to the reduced length of the inverted repeat region. In terms of nucleotide diversity, Heliconia species exhibited lower diversity in their chloroplast genomes compared to other families within the Zingiberales order.DiscussionThis study provides valuable insights into the conserved nature of the chloroplast genome in Heliconia. The reduced chloroplast genome size, particularly the shortened inverted repeat region, marks a distinct feature of Heliconia within the Zingiberales family. Our findings also underscore the low nucleotide diversity within the chloroplast genomes of Heliconia species, which could be indicative of their evolutionary history and limited genetic differentiation. These results contribute to a broader understanding of chloroplast genome evolution in the Zingiberales and offer important genetic resources for future research on Heliconia and related species.

The Feshbach Resonances Applied to the Calculation of Stark Broadening of Ionized Spectral Lines: An Example of Interdisciplinary Research
Authors: Sahal-Bréchot Sylvie , Elabidi Haykel 
Published: January 2025

In the present paper, we revisit the determination of Feshbach resonances in the elastic and fine-structure cross-sections of the spectral lines of ionized atoms colliding with electrons. The Gailitis approximation will be recalled and used to calculate the Feshbach resonances. A historical point of view will be used, emphasizing the interest of interdisciplinary research, with a back and forth between physics and astrophysics. First, the theory of Feshbach (arising at end of the 1950s and beginning of the 1960s) resonances will be briefly recalled and applied to the calculation of the cross-sections. In the beginning of the 1970s, the insertion of Feshbach resonances in spectroscopic diagnostics calculations permitted researchers to interpret the intensities of solar coronal lines. Then, in the middle of the 1970s, this gave rise to the idea of including the Feshbach resonances in the calculation of electron impact broadening (the so-called “Stark” broadening) of isolated spectral lines of ionized atoms. Finally, in the recent example of the Stark broadening of the Mo VI 5d D5/22−5p P°3/22 line, the S-matrices will be calculated using the semi-classical perturbation formalism and will be compared to those of the more recent quantum distorted wave formalism.
