The Indo-Pacific Strategy of the Republic of Korea
Authors: Samsonova Viktoria G. 
Published: June 2023

The Indo-Pacific Strategy, formulated in the US National security strategy in December 2017, is a link in the global system of military-political blocs and associations. These structures have been created by the United States to preserve the dominance of the historical West in an era of global changes that challenge to the spread of the so-called unipolar world with the United States playing a dominant role worldwide. Moreover, it is clear that the more the role of the suzerain of the unipolar world is undermined, the more quirky, diverse and dangerous become the attempts to preserve this dominant role by involving countries that previously took a neutral position to the actions of the unilateralists.

The article analyzes South Korean policy regarding the Indo-Pacific Strategy. The authors of this article consider its political and economic aspects, including the role of the ROK in the institutionalization of the association, which includes countries that support it. At the same time, the authors premise that South Korea, being within the structure of the American global influence system for many decades, cannot ignore any American strategy. Therefore, discussion resolves around the pace and conditions that South Korea must fulfill in order to engage and implement this externally imposed structure, and what benefits it seeks to gain from its participation. At the same time, the authors express doubt in the possibility of transforming the Indo-Pacific block, being created under the auspices of the US, into a significant international structure capable of altering the vector of ongoing global changes. And this leads to the conclusion about how consistent with the national interests, even in the medium term, of the Republic of Korea and its participation in the American strategy of IPR. Moreover, the Indo-Pacific Initiative of the ROK, which has pro-American orientation, both in foreign policy and economic spheres, including priority (military industry, IT industry, &quot;green&quot; technologies, etc.), may inadvertently harm its own interests and cooperation with the main economic partner - China. This could result in adverse consequences for South Korea in the near future.
China and the 2023 Iran-Saudi Agreement: Setting, Goals and Significance
Authors: Safronova Elena 
Published: June 2023

The article discusses a number of issues related to the achievement in March 2023 of the Agreement on the restoration of diplomatic relations between Iran and Saudi Arabia, mediated by China. The author describes background of the Agreement, noting the fact that the idea of its achievement matured under the influence of complex and long-term circumstances. The article also concerns the role of the United States in the Middle East, which also influenced the formation of Iranian-Saudi relations. The author pays particular attention to the new developments in the political and economic spheres of China&apos;s relations with the Middle East and North African countries. The characterization of China&apos;s evolving approach in the region explains why Iran and Saudi Arabia chose China as a trusted and effective mediator. China&apos;s advantage is believed to lie in its diplomatic paradigm, which involves avoiding taking sides and striving to bring both parties closer together.

The article addresses the question of why the beginning of 2023 was chosen for the signing of the Agreement, highlighting a number of objective and subjective circumstances that influenced this choice, which are examined in a comprehensive manner. After discussing the key provisions of the Agreement, the author turns to the international significance of the document, concluding that after its conclusion, the United States will no longer be the sole global power playing a significant role in the Middle East. It is highly unlikely that China will leave the region where it has made such a diplomatic impact and where its political and economic interests are gaining a new scale.

An overview about Therapeutic uses, clinical efficacy, safety and classes of Retinoids and its efficacy for Treatment of skin aging
Authors: Ali Hasan Shireen , Suha Nadem Muhsin  , Makarim M.Ali Hassan  
Published: June 2023

Abstract Skin aging has both underlying and extraneous factors. the outermost organ of the human body, the skin suffers from environmental damage to agents such as air pollution and cigarette smoking, the resulting skin aging is called extraneous aging, which is also known as photoaging or the exposure to sunlight via UV radiation. Retinoid refers to the synthetic and natural analogues of vitamin A. Retinoids are a class of compounds derived from vitamin A or showing structural and/or functional similarities to vitamin A. Retinoids as dermatological agents that are widely applied in cosmetics and effective against acne, psoriasis, skin aging, and other skin conditions. Their susceptibility to degradation is a limiting factor for their widespread use, In other words; retinoid concentration in cosmetics is restricted, and one particular form–retinoic acid, is banned due to safety reasons. These include retinol, retinal, tretinoin (retinoic acid), isotretinoin, and alitretinoin, etretinate, adapalene, bexarotene, tazarotene, and Trifarotene. The aim of this review is to introduce the different uses of different types of retinoid in cosmetic and dermatological treatments.
Key words: Retinoids, skin, photoaging, vitamin A

The present study was carried out in the labs of Technical Institute –Al-Nasiriyah /Community Health Department and Nasiriyah Heart Center in Thi- Qar province, during the period of research was extended from January to July 2022 . The aim of study was to determination polymorphisms of IL-6 gene in patients with Coronary Artery Disease and measuring its levels in serum using a technique enzyme-linked immune sorbent adsorptive (ELISA). The study included a total of 100 Iraqi patients with coronary artery disease(CAD) and healthy control group their age between 3-85 years. DNA has been isolated and PCR was performed by using primers specific for genotypes of IL-6 gene (572 C/G and 174 C/G), the results showed that gel electrophoresis for amplified IL-6 gene of CAD patients, gel electrophoresis of 167bp (IL-6 572C/G) PCR products and 198bp PCR product(IL-6 174C/G). Frequency of genotypes for the IL6 gene showed a high frequency of GG genotype compared to the GC and CC genotypes in all study groups , the frequency of G and C allele in IL6 gene was 95 % and 5 %, respectively with significant differences between genotypes in various groups, in the patient group (90 %) had GC genotype, (10%) were heterozygote and had (0%) had CC genotype compare with control group, (100%) had GC genotype, (0%) were heterozygote and had (0%) had CC genotype. The immunological study showed that there was a significant increase of concentrations of (IL-6) in patients compared to the healthy control group. Thus it seems There is no correlation between IL-6 gene polymorphisms and the risk of coronary artery disease in Thi- Qar province and the Serological Assay (ELISA) showed a significant increase in the concentration of IL-6 in patients with coronary artery disease compared with the healthy control group.
The Prevalence and the significance of the Pulmonary Bacterial Super-Infections among Hospitalized COVID-19 patients : A scoping Review
Authors: Musa Muslim 
Published: June 2023

Mortality of any respiratory viral diseases usually attributed in part to other reasonse than damaging effect of the virus alone. One of these reasons is the bacterial superinfection. For this reason, this scoping review attamt to evaluate the significant conterbution of bacterial super-infection on the mortality among hospitalized COVID-19 patients and also to determine the true revalence of bacterial super-infections in that population. Accordingly, a systematic search was employed with precise criteria on the MEDLINE, SCOPUS, PUBMED, and GOOGLE SCHOLAR databases published in the English language in the period of three years from January 2020 to January 2023. The Prevalence of bacterial super-infection (BSI) among COVID-19 patients constitutes a point of contention among publications. this heterogeneity among publications came from the semantic dilemma of co-infection and super-infection. co-infection was determined to be found in a relatively narrow range (1.2-3.1%) while, Prevalence of bacterial super-infection among COVID-19 patients varied from 18.2 to 50%. The bacterial super-infection appears to significantly increase COVID-19 mortality, with the Odd ratio ranging from 1.76 to 10.53 [CI 95%]. Bacterial super-infection among hospitalized COVID-19 patients represents a non-recognized threat, especially during the first wave of the pandemic. The Prevalence of bacterial super-infection is comparable with those observed in previous influenza and SARS epidemics. A significant contribution of bacterial super-infection, especially the pulmonary to mortality of COVID-19 patients, was observed clearly
Корозійна стійкість оболонок твелів виробництва компанії «Westinghouse» під час експлуатації в умовах водно-хімічного режиму ВВЕР-1000. Визначення енергії активації корозії цирконієвого сплаву та верифікація розрахункової моделі

Published: June 2023

У статті наведено результати комплексу робіт з визначення корозійної стійкості оболонок твелів тепловидільних збірок виробництва компанії «Westinghouse», виготовлених зі сплаву ZIRLO®, під час експлуатації протягом чотирьох паливних кампаній у реакторах ВВЕР-1000 АЕС України. Отримано та систематизовано масив експериментальних результатів з визначення товщини оксидної плівки за висотою оболонки твелів та показано, що максимальна товщина оксиду після четвертого року експлуатації знаходиться в межах 13...25 мкм. Під час проведення візуального контролю оболонок твелів оцінено їх корозійний стан та встановлено зв’язок зовнішнього вигляду їх поверхні з товщиною оксидної плівки. Отримані результати вимірювань товщини оксидної плівки на поверхні твелів нижче максимальної межі (60 мкм), встановленої на етапі проєктування та під час отримання дозволу на експлуатацію палива в активній зоні, та значно нижче максимальної проєктної межі (<101,5 мкм) для оболонок, виготовлених зі сплаву ZIRLO®. Згідно з результатами вимірювань, проведених на енергоблоці №3 ВП ПАЕС та енергоблоці №5 ВП ЗАЕС, можна стверджувати, що виготовлені зі сплаву ZIRLO® оболонки твелів мають високу корозійну стійкість під час експлуатації в умовах водно-хімічного режиму першого контуру реакторів ВВЕР-1000 АЕС України.
Енергію активації корозії сплаву ZIRLO® визначено на підставі результатів вимірювання товщини оксиду оболонок твелів на енергоблоці № 3 ВП ПАЕС та енергоблоці № 5 ВП ЗАЕС, а також, розрахованих параметрів експлуатації в умовах активної зони ВВЕР-1000. Значення енергії активації корозії сплаву ZIRLO® становить 27280 кал/моль для ВВЕР-1000, що вище, ніж для західних реакторів типу PWR (27080 кал/моль). Це свідчить про вищу корозійну стійкість такого сплаву в реакторах ВВЕР-1000.
Модернізація стратегій і систем управління аваріями на ядерних енергоустановках з їх повним тривалим знеструмленням

Published: June 2023

У сучасних екстремальних умовах експлуатації українських АЕС (особливо Запорізької АЕС) унаслідок зовнішніх воєнних впливів сталися десятки аварійних зупинок енергоблоків через повне або часткове зовнішнє знеструмлення. Повне тривале знеструмлення атомних енергоблоків стало однією з основних причин ядерної (важкої) та радіаційної аварії із катастрофічними екологічними наслідками на АЕС «Фукусіма-1» у 2011 році. Проведений раніше детерміністичний аналіз аналогічної аварії з повним тривалим знеструмленням енергоблоків з реакторами ВВЕР-1000 встановив неминучість виникнення ядерної аварії за умов перевищення гранично допустимої температури оболонок тепловидільних елементів ядерного палива. Перспективним підходом підвищення ефективності управління аваріями з повним знеструмленням ядерних енергоустановок є застосування аварійного живильного насоса з паровим приводом від парогенератора. Необхідною умовою впровадження такого підходу є кваліфікація аварійного живильного насоса з паровим приводом на надійність та працездатність у разі аварій з повним знеструмленням. У статті обґрунтовано критерії та умови кваліфікації аварійного живильного насоса з паровим приводом у перехідних і робочих режимах для забезпечення успішного виконання функцій безпеки щодо відведення залишкових тепловиділень від реактора та підтримки необхідного рівня живильної води в парогенераторі. На основі розробленої консервативної тепло-гідродинамічної моделі «реактор – парогенератор – аварійний живильний насос з паровим приводом» визначено конструкційно-технічні вимоги до системи аварійного живильного насоса з паровим приводом, які відповідають установленим критеріям та умовам кваліфікації. Встановлено, що ефективна працездатність аварійного живильного насоса з паровим приводом від парогенератора обґрунтована для перших 10 діб після повного знеструмлення. Отримані результати можуть бути застосовані під час модернізації стратегій та систем управління аваріями з повним тривалим знеструмленням атомних енергоблоків.

“We don’t talk about Trauma”: El Salvadorians and Community Trauma
Authors: Carranza Mirna E. , Moffatt Ken , McGrath Susan , Lee Bill 
Published: June 2023

<p>This article draws upon data from a Canadian study funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council. The focus was on how trauma has been experienced by three communities who have been historically marginalized: The El Salvadorian community, Indigenous peoples and those identifying as 2STLGBQIA+. The focus of this article is on the Salvadorian diaspora in Canada, which has the shared experience of historical colonial trauma; on-going coloniality leading to civil war; and poverty, leading to forcible displacement. The latter resulted in re-negotiating their lives in the diaspora and transnationally in El Salvador. As with Indigenous and 2STLGBQIA+ communities, Salvadorians in Canada share experiences of multiple oppressions and marginalization based, in part, on perceptions of belonging and worth, rooted in racism. Exploring notions of community development as it exists in diaspora communities must include a history of war, resettlement and marginalization that contribute to trauma at the community level.</p>

“Cultural” and “Geo-Cultural” Identity: A Critical Analysis of Kymlicka’s Multiculturalism in the Context of Chittagong Hill Tracts, Bangladesh
Authors: Hossain Farjana , Khan Md Habeeb Faruk 
Published: June 2023

In Bangladesh, a large number of minorities or indigenous people live in Chittagong Hill Tracts (CHT) who prefer to introduce themselves as “Pahari” to create a distinguished identity from mainstream. Even in most cases, the Bangali population residing in CHT acknowledge their identity in the similar way. This distinctiveness is not solely cultural what Kymlicka assumes, rather it is ‘geo-cultural’. This paper focuses on the collective role of cultural and geo-cultural identity to define the complete ‘self’ of the marginalized population by analyzing and critiquing Will Kymlicka’s thoughts on multiculturalism. A randomly selected sample of indigenous and Bangali residents of CHT participated in this ethnographic study where data was collected through observations and face to face interviews. Qualitative data analysis procedure was followed to analyze and ultimately, thematize the collected data. The findings of this research very evidently demonstrated the acceptance of cultural varieties in today’s globalized multicultural world. Besides, it justified the importance of cultural and territorial rights of the minors which would eventually construct a complete identity for them. Hence, a perspective of cultural tolerance and promoting geo-cultural rights can advocate multiculturalism strongly boosting the true identity of a marginalized cultural group.

Impacts of Drought on the Market in the Northwest Region of Bangladesh: Availability, Diversity and Price
Authors: Islam Md Shafiqul , Shafiq Ummul Fatiha Binte 
Published: June 2023

A Market based study was conducted in the high (Tanore Upazila) and low (Natore Upazila) drought prone areas over the period of twelve months with the aims to know the impacts of drought on the market. Drought inhibits production, the inflow of agricultural produces and food supply in high drought market areas. Availability, diversity, price and sources of plant species become more restricted by the severe drought. The high drought market area shows less availability of the produces with low diversity and high prices. These attributes arrest consumer’s behavior in food consumption patterns and restricted food supply in high drought market. Low drought market area shows normal production, regular inflows of agricultural produces. Mostly drought affects market in the Kharif-2 season. More local varieties were found in the low drought market during Rabi season. Appropriate drought forecasting in advance and drought insurance can protect production loss and ensure market supply.

‘I do, I undo, I redo’: Louise Bourgeois and Samuel Beckett
Authors: Bates Julie 
Published: June 2023

Louise Bourgeois and Samuel Beckett were both from comfortably bourgeois families; both had a strained relationship with one parent and undertook psychoanalytic treatment while grieving the deaths of their fathers; both were academically successful and placed great emphasis on studying; both were marked by the First and Second World Wars; both experienced the disorientations and liberations of exile and working between languages; and finally, after a period of relative neglect, both achieved celebrity and critical acclaim later in life. Drawing on Bourgeois’s notebooks and diaries in her New York archive, in which Beckett makes fleeting appearances, this article presents a comparative reading of Bourgeois and Beckett, and identifies a significant number of affinities in their creative preoccupations and strategies, points of confluence that call into question assumptions by their respective critics that their creative practice is exceptional. A comparative reading with a female artist has the additional benefit of situating Beckett outside the masculinist heritage in which he has been inscribed, and brings into focus the gender bias that has been evident in both sets of scholarship. At once modernist and contemporary due to their longevity and the variety of their prolific output (over seventy years for Bourgeois and sixty for Beckett), Bourgeois and Beckett have both been successfully canonised: vital points of reference for artists and writers today, exhibitions and productions of their work also draw huge crowds. Their respective critics have hailed the work of Bourgeois and Beckett as remarkable and distinctive, setting them apart from their fellow artists and writers. They share a creative strategy, however: both dedicated themselves to a narrow range of themes and pursued these through the adoption of a diverse range of media, play with scale, and an unceasing experimentation with form.
Seeing Barbara Bray: Marek Kędzierski on Barbara Bray – Barbara Bray on Samuel Beckett
Authors: Kędzierski Marek 
Published: June 2023

Seeing Barbara Bray was written as a sketch for a portrait of Barbara Bray, who met Samuel Beckett shortly after he sent the text of All That Fall to BBC's Third Programme. As script editor and producer, she consulted with the author on his first radio drama and collaborated on subsequent works broadcast by the BBC. From the early 1960s, Bray, based in Paris, worked mainly as a literary translator. Over time a strong bond between them developed and an intimate relationship ensued. Erudite and with a gift for rendering complex issues in the least complicated way, Bray provided Beckett with much more than translating advice, encouraging him in his writing, editing his texts, and acting as his “sounding board”. Very modest and discrete, she kept a low profile until her death in 2010. It was only with the publication of the two last volumes of The Letters of Samuel Beckett (2014, 2016 respectively), that her role in his life and writing became apparent to the general readership. In his personal account, Marek Kedzierski focuses principally on Beckett's letters to Bray, her comments on them, and on her unfinished memoir from which he quotes several passages. Drawing from conversations with her recorded by him in 2003-2009, his essay ends with Bray's personal confession revealing to us her deep pain and her refusal to be “the invisible woman” in Samuel Beckett's life.
