Abstract
The Lembang Fault, located north of Bandung in West Java, Indonesia, is an active fault that can pose a significant earthquake hazard. The Fault extends 29 km in an east-west direction and is capable of generating earthquakes of magnitude 6.5–7.0 based on surface geological observations and previous paleoseismological studies. In earthquake mitigation, it is crucial to accurately describe the geometry of potential earthquake sources. Therefore, a subsurface model supported by high-resolution data is necessary to adequately characterize the geometry of the Lembang fault. Love wave ambient seismic noise tomography was used in this study to create a seismic velocity model based on data from 74 recording stations. The model accurately characterizes the high velocity contrast and low shear wave velocity anomalies associated with the Lembang Fault Zone. Pronounced velocity anomalies are observed, suggesting that they are related to the fault plane, which is confirmed by seismic activity in the region. In addition, the evidence has been found for another possible fault. Lembang fault has two fault planes: One is a vertical fault and the other is a south-dipping thrust fault. This fault is a cause for concern as it has the potential to generate earthquake with significant consequences.

Растительный опад является связующим потоком между фитоценозом и почвой, а его разложение оказывает влияние на скорость накопления органического вещества в почве. Несмотря на большой фактический материал по массе опада в сосняках России, обобщенные оценки роли условий произрастания в этом процессе единичны. По итогам пятилетних наблюдений (2017-2022 гг.) установлена относительно постоянная скорость потока органического вещества от древесных растений на поверхность лесной подстилки, которая может изредка нарушаться вследствие значительного опада ветвей в зимний период. В среднем поступление опада в сосняке бруснично-лишайниковом составило 233.4 г/(м2 год), черничном - 206.1, сфагновом - 109.6 г/(м2 год), большая часть которого (66-72 %) формируется с мая по октябрь. В относительно чистых по составу насаждениях хвоя сосны ( Pinus L.) образует 48-62 % от общей массы опада. Существенный вклад также вносят ветви (12-16 %, преимущественно сосновые) и кора сосны (12-14 %). Выявлено, что условия произрастания влияют на долю хвои и шишек сосны, листьев березы ( Betula L.) в общем количестве древесного опада.
Plant litter is a connecting flux between plants and soil, and the rate of soil organic matter accumulation depends on its decomposition. Despite the abundance of data on the mass of litterfall in Russian pine forests, generalized assessments of the influence of growing conditions on this process are rare. Approximately constant rate of organic matter flux from tree plants on forest floor surface was detected base on 5 years of observation (during 2017-2022) that can rarely be disturbed due to significant litterfall of branches during winter. The tree litterfall influx in pine forest of Lichen type was 233.4 g/m2 per year, in bilberry type pine forest - 206.1, and in Sphagnosa type pine forest - 109.6 g/m2 per year much of that (66-72 %) formed from May to October. In relatively clear on composition pine forests pine needle produce 48-62 % from total litterfall. Branches (predominantly pine) and pine bark has a significant input that reach to 12-16 % and 12-14 % from tree litterfall, respectively. Growing conditions influence the share of birch ( Betula L.) eaves, pine needle and cones in total mass of litterfall. Obtained data can be used to assess the cycle of matter and carbon in the pine forests of the northern taiga zone.

AbstractAimsThis study aimed to explore the brain activity characteristics of individuals with Internet Gaming Disorder (IGD) during mobile gameplay, focusing on neural responses to positive and negative game events. The findings may enhance our understanding of the neural mechanisms underlying IGD.MethodsFunctional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) was employed to measure hemodynamic responses (HbO/HbR) in the prefrontal cortex of both IGD participants and recreational gaming users (RGU), during solo and multiplayer mobile gameplay.ResultsIn solo mode, IGD participants exhibited stronger activation in the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (dLPFC), frontopolar area (FPA), orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) in response to positive events compared to RGU. Negative events led to reduced activation in the FPA among IGD participants. In multiplayer mode, IGD participants displayed lower activation in the dLPFC and ventrolateral prefrontal cortex (vLPFC), although overall brain response trends to positive and negative events were similar between IGD and RGU.ConclusionsThis study suggests that individuals with IGD exhibit heightened sensitivity to rewards and diminished sensitivity to losses, along with potential impairments in the executive control network. These results contribute to a better understanding of the neural mechanisms of IGD and offer insights for developing targeted interventions aimed at addressing abnormal reward and loss processing.

Authors: Levchenko Oleksandr , Korobko Bogdan 
Published: January 2025

The object of study is the power supply system of a concrete mixing plant. The research made it possible to identify and eliminate the shortcomings of the existing power supply system in order to increase its energy efficiency and productivity. A new concept has been proposed, which provides for an individual arrangement of bins with isolated conveyors for each of them.
The study revealed a number of significant advantages of the proposed system, namely:
– separate conveyors for each hopper allow to optimize the routes of material movement, avoid unnecessary movements and reduce the load on the drives;
– the use of modern electric motors with high efficiency and other energy-saving components can further reduce energy consumption;
– due to the independent operation of each hopper, it is possible to load different materials in parallel, which reduces the time required to prepare a new portion of the concrete mixture;
– the absence of a common hopper reduces the risk of congestion and obstacles that can lead to equipment downtime;
– due to the independence of each hopper, different types of concrete mixtures can be prepared simultaneously.
However, there are some potential disadvantages and risks to consider before implementing a new system, including:
– the implementation of a new system may require significant investment in new equipment and installation;
– the number of system components increases, which may complicate its maintenance and repair;
– the efficient operation of the new system requires the development of special software and automation systems.
Despite some drawbacks, the introduction of a power supply system for a concrete mixing plant is a promising direction for the development of the machine-building and construction industry. The results of the study indicate the high efficiency of this technology and its economic feasibility in the long term.

Persistent misconceptions pose significant challenges in science education, particularly in biology, hindering students' acquisition of accurate knowledge and scientific literacy. This study investigated the efficacy of interactive educational videos in addressing misconceptions among high school biology students in Bhutan. Using a quasi-experimental design, the study involved 228 students who participated in pre-tests, interventions, post-tests, and post-retention tests. Prevalent misconceptions highlighted the need for effective instructional interventions. Statistical analyses revealed substantial improvement in post-test scores within the experiment group compared to pre-tests and the control group. Moreover, the sustained effectiveness of the intervention was evident, as shown by the minimal discrepancies in scores between post-tests
and post-retention tests in the Experiment group. This suggests that the interactive educational video lessons have enduring efficacy in addressing misconceptions and consolidating comprehension over an extended period. The findings of this study underscore the importance of evidence-based instructional strategies in fostering accurate understanding and dispelling misconceptions in biology education. The implications of the study extend to curriculum development, teacher training, and educational policy, with the aim of enhancing the quality of biology education and informing effective pedagogical approaches in science education.

Aim. To assess the impact of comprehensive anticancer therapy on lipid and hormonal profile markers in individuals who underwent treatment for central nervous system (CNS) tumors during childhood.Material and methods. A single-center, cross-sectional study included 48 patients who underwent surgical, chemotherapeutic, and radiation treatment for CNS tumors in childhood. Lipid and hormonal profiles were analyzed.Results. In young patients (21.7±4.3 years) who had undergone comprehensive treatment, including surgery, chemotherapy, and cranial radiation for CNS tumors in childhood, the cumulative cranial dose of radiation therapy was found to be an independent predictor of dyslipidemia development and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels >3,0 mmol/l. Correlation analysis revealed a positive relationship between LDL-C level and the cumulative cranial dose (r=0.414; p=0.007). Statistically significant correlations were also observed between total cholesterol (TC) values and insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) (r=-0.41; p=0.028), LDL-C and IGF-1 (r=-0,44; p=0,028), very-low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and somatotropin (r=-0.44; p=0.033). Furthermore, LDL-C level was associated with changes in thyrotropine (TSH) (r=-0.39; p=0.017), and VLDL-C was correlated with TSH (r=-0.42; p=0.016).Conclusion. Patients who underwent complex treatment of CNS tumors in childhood demonstrated a high frequency of dyslipidemia associated with the cumulative cranial dose of radiation therapy. Considering the presence of endocrinological disorders, in particular somatotropic insufficiency and hypothyroidism, their influence on dyslipidemia development can be assumed. The potential influence of glucocorticoid therapy during oncological treatment on lipid profiles cannot be ruled out. These findings support the necessity of developing practical recommendations for dynamic follow-up of patients who have undergone comprehensive treatment for malignant CNS tumors during childhood, to ensure timely detection of cardiovascular diseases.

Abstract
The coseismic surface ruptures associated with large earthquakes contribute to severe damage to near-fault buildings through fault deformation. However, previous studies simplified geological conditions and were based mainly on numerical and physical simulations. In other words, the scarcity of large earthquakes, especially for active thrust faults, limits the understanding of the mechanisms of building damage near active faults. Herein, the study selected the 2008 Mw7.9 Wenchuan earthquake as an example. Based on compass measurements, unmanned aerial vehicle data, ground-based lidar mapping, and numerical simulation, the study showed that twelve buildings within the two sides of the fault were damaged by tilted deformation. The study suggests that the closer the buildings are to the fault, the greater the tilted deformation of the buildings. Moreover, the degree of tilted deformation of the buildings on the hanging wall is significantly greater than that on the footwall, indicating an asymmetric characteristic. Furthermore, the azimuth of the tilted deformation of all buildings is consistent toward the northwest and nearly perpendicular to the strike of the coseismic surface rupture, which indicates that the tilted damage to the buildings might be primarily influenced by the thrust deformation. In addition, the simulation results reveal that parameters such as the distance from the fault, angle of the fault, thickness and strength of the sediment can affect the tilted deformation of near-fault buildings. The results enable us to better understand the influence mechanisms of the tilted damage of near-fault buildings and provide a scientific basis for the avoidance of active thrust faults.
