State Policy in the Field of Agricultural Development: Current Issues of Law and Practice
Authors: Mukhlynina Mariya Mikhailovna 
Published: December 2022

The article analyzes some legal aspects of state policy in the field of agricultural development. The subject of the study is the legal norms regulating state policy in the field of agriculture. The purpose of the work is to analyze international and national legislation and formulate conclusions and proposals based on this analysis to improve regulatory legal regulation in the field of agricultural development in our country. The research was conducted using general scientific, private and special methods, such as induction, deduction, synthesis, analysis, analogies, formal legal and others. The relevance of the study is connected with the development of the most important issue - the achievement of the country's food sovereignty. The article analyzes the provisions of the new Strategy for the development of agro-industrial and fisheries complexes for the period up to 2030, where a serious emphasis is placed on import substitution as one of the key guidelines for the development of Russia. It seems obvious that it is necessary to continue improving regulatory legal regulation and strategic planning in the direction under study. To ensure the average annual growth rate of the agro-industrial complex at the level of 3%, as planned, it is necessary to identify growth factors and introduce new or expand existing mechanisms of state support. We consider the adoption of the Strategy to be one of the most important steps in the implementation of state policy in the development of agriculture and the entire agro-industrial complex, but work in this direction continues. The key result to be achieved is the sustainable development of agriculture. The author notes the intensification of work on the implementation of the Russian scientific and technical program for the development of agriculture and promising areas of state policy.
About State Support of Traditional Forms of Farming in Rural Areas

Published: December 2022

The authors ask questions: is it necessary to maintain traditional values in modern conditions? In particular, is it necessary to maintain family values, in conditions when the emancipation of women, modern technologies allow a man and a woman to be independent of each other not only economically, but even in such a process as the birth of children. Is it necessary to support traditional forms of management, including family work, peasant (farmer) farms, whereas it is obvious that currently agricultural industrial complexes have a significant competitive advantage over small businesses, labor productivity at large enterprises is higher than in small family business structures. Lawyers are removed from these problems or are removed themselves, reserving only the right to formalize the decisions made by politicians and economists, whereas human rights, both economic and social, national security and the life of future generations directly depend on the solution of these issues. In addition, the law has a set of legal means to ensure the implementation of the policy chosen by the state, including various ways of state support for priority social institutions and necessary types of economic activities for the sustainable development of the state and society, for those purposes that are recognized as socially useful. The authors come to the conclusion that state support of traditional values, traditional family, traditional forms of management should be carried out, offer options for presenting state support, its addressees and goals. However, the state's interference in the way of a particular family, household, family business should be strictly limited.
How to set up a Journal club? Tips for first time visits and starting a journal club for radiographers.
Authors: Pedersen Malene Roland Vils 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
Journal clubs are getting more and more popular and are seen in many variations. A classic journal club is a structured educational meeting for a group of people to discuss, debate, and examine published articles. Journal clubs can be used to gain the latest knowledge in new areas of interest. It is important to educate radiographers and students to use a critical approach when discussing research. This may or may not lead to a new standard of practice.
Journal club meetings can be initiated from e.g., clinical departments, educational institutions, groups with special interests e.g., statistics, modality, or by established research groups.
The workload is typically reading one or two articles as preparation for each meeting and pointing out a presenter with the task of recapitulating the study aim, method, result, and conclusion. However, it is not expected that the journal club members read the paper(s) thoroughly. The interesting part is the presenter’s perspective and interpretation of the selected paper and the discussion followed by the rest of the group members. This tutorial presents how to start a journal club and explains simple steps to consider before the first meeting.

Published: December 2022

O ICMS Substituição Tributária (ST) é um imposto de competência estadual, que promove maior eficiência na fiscalização e colabora para a diminuição da sonegação fiscal. Por meio da gestão tributária avalia-se o real custo-benefício, servindo de apoio nas decisões estratégicas. O presente artigo teve por objetivo averiguar como o processo de ressarcimento e/ou complementação do ICMS-ST pode incentivar as práticas de gestão tributária em uma empresa no ramo de comércio varejista de alimentos. A pesquisa foi realizada em uma empresa consolidada no mercado e de grande porte. Em relação a metodologia a pesquisa se enquadrou como exploratória, quanto a abordagem foi qualitativa e quanto aos procedimentos estudo de caso, com a aplicação de observação participante, entrevistas informais e análise de documentos. Os resultados encontrados, demonstram que a empresa desempenha várias práticas de gestão tributária e com isso identificou que não é viável pedir o ressarcimento do ICMS-ST, aderindo ao regime optativo de tributação proposto do Estado do Paraná, onde não requerendo ressarcimento também não precisa pagar a complementação do ICMS-ST.

Com o propósito de alcançar bons resultados relacionados à inovação de produtos e/ou serviços, processos, procedimentos e novos negócios, verifica-se que as organizações, visando inovar, trabalham com modelos de gestão voltados ao intraempreendedorismo (FESTA & GARCIA, 2013). O empreendedorismo pode acontecer tanto na esfera pública como na privada, assim o intraempreendedorismo acontece por meio da vontade de empreender das pessoas na organização (PRADO, MACHADO, MELO, & LAPOLLI, 2011). Diante desse contexto, propõe-se nesse estudo entender as características empreendedoras identificadas pelos gestores públicos no seu desempenho. Considerando-se a abordagem quantitativa, a população adotada para este trabalho são os gestores, com cargo de direção ou função gratificada, de uma Instituição de Ensino Superior Pública (IES), como sujeitos da pesquisa. A coleta de dados realizou-se através de um questionário composto por questões para identificar o perfil dos respondentes e questões relacionadas aos objetivos específicos do estudo. A análise dos dados é constituída primeiramente através dos dados gerados com o software Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS). Posteriormente foi utilizada a análise de variância (ANOVA), onde se utiliza testes F para verificar estatisticamente a igualdade entre médias. O teste t de Student foi utilizado para comparar duas médias e verificar se a diferença entre essas médias são estatisticamente significativas. Verificou-se que os gestores que responderam a este estudo apresentam as características comportamentais empreendedoras, do mesmo modo que os gestores entrevistados constatam que a universidade possui um alto nível de orientação empreendedora.

Published: December 2022

Fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda (J. E. Smith) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae), is a polyphagous migratory pest reported in Tanzania in 2017. Limited choices of officially registered insecticides for the control of the pest when it first occurred led to many farmers opting for the few available ones including those that were not registered for the pests. The current study drew from a survey conducted in 2018 that listed the insecticides commonly used by farmers against the pest. The study assessed the effectiveness of the insecticides against the different S. frugiperda larval instars under field conditions in the 2019 and 2020 growing seasons. Ten commonly used insecticides were applied to S. frugiperda damaged maize crops. Obtained results suggested a varied effectiveness of the tested insecticides with some inflicting significant (p < 0.001) mortality of S. frugiperda larvae while some proved ineffective. Ninja plus 5EC, Profecron 720 EC, Multi alpha plus 150 EC and Duduba 450 EC, caused highest mortality of S. frugiperda in all experimental plots accompanied with reduced incidences and damage severities on maize crops while Thunder 145 OD and Attakan 350 SC were the least effective. Yields obtained from the experiments suggested a significant impact of applied insecticides whereby plots treated with Duduba 450 EC produced the highest yield (4 tons/ha) compared to non-treated plots (2.2 tons/ha). The findings from this study prove that some insecticides were effective against the pest while some were not. As such farmers’ complaints on the ineffectiveness of traded insecticides could be real.

Food contamination with pesticide residues is a serious concern. In United Arab Emirates, ministry of climate change and environment (MOCCAE) carries out incidence/level monitoring in order to acquire data on the presence and amounts of pesticide residues in particular commodity/chemical combinations. This monitoring aimed to provide the necessary information on quantitative and qualitative pesticide multiresidues in imported legume crops.
Sampling plan of 2375 selected legume imported into the UAE has been examined as part of an official surveillance program, these samples include beans, peas, peanuts, lupine and lentils, they were collected from across United Arab Emirates (UAE) ports of entry during 2020 and 2021 by certified staff. These samples were analyzed by modified QuEChERS method for pesticide residue screening based on multi-reaction monitoring (MRM) mode with gas and/or liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry for monitoring more than 400 pesticides residues in these legume crops. The method used in this study was validated following the European Commission guidelines achieving good recovery values in the range 70–120% with relative standard deviation values lower than 20% and providing limits of quantification of the method in the low mg/kg range, in accordance with the maximum residue limits set by European policies and CODEX.
The results showed that the majority (98.8%) of legume crops samples analyzed had compliance with the legislation in force in UAE and 29 samples (1.2%) contained residues above MRLs established by the Codex Committee on pesticide residues as well as by the European Union. This monitoring is a part of a surveillance study for pesticide control in food samples.
Based on the results current monitoring program provide a valuable source of information for estimating dietary exposure of UAE consumers to pesticide residues, and to check compliance with the national maximum residue levels in legume samples.

A number of research seeking alternative materials to augment normal coarse aggregate to reduce overreliance on granite while saving the environment is on the rise. This study assessed the workability, water absorption and density of concrete with waste ceramic tiles as partial replacement for crushed granite coarse aggregate. Crushed waste ceramic tiles from ceramic manufacturing industries and construction sites were blended with crushed granite for concrete production. A mix ratio 1: 1.11: 2.72 (cement: sand: coarse) for nominal C30 concrete was produced with (0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 and 100) percent volume ceramic waste replacement for crushed granite at constant water-cement ratio of 0.5 to produce concrete cubes and cured for 7 and 28 days. Tests conducted revealed concrete workability and density decreased with increasing ceramic waste while water absorption increased with increasing ceramic waste but not above acceptable limits. However, use of waste ceramic tiles as partial replacement for crushed granite in concrete is encouraged, but not exceeding 20% maximum for structural concrete. This mode of recycling ceramic waste could positively promote green construction for sustained environment; hence, it should be encouraged with conditional limitation and further research of its use.

Published: December 2022

AbstractDue to the existence of hydration layer at interfaces, the weak affinity between hydrogels and most hydrophobic materials routinely generates weak and brittle bonding, which has been a disadvantage of hydrogels when serving as coatings on solid substrates. Herein, a finding of substantial affinity is presented between polyacrylamide‐based hydrogels and cellulose acetate (CA) without particular chemical and physical pretreatments. Besides understanding the mechanism behind it, this unusual finding motivates to make reversible adhesive hydrogel tapes. Learning from the commercial Scotch Magic Tape which typically paints a glue layer on polymer films to achieve appropriate adhesion on solid surfaces, the CA backlayer can be easily glued and firmly bonded to arbitrary solid surfaces without affecting the properties of hydrogel layer on the other side. This particular kind of hydrogel tape can be readily scaled up from laboratory synthesis to a roll‐to‐roll continuous production. Several applications of hydrogel tapes are succeeded in alarming hyperthermia, thermal dissipation, and serving as ultrasonic couplant. In terms of the advantages of low cost, green fabrication, convenient operation, sticky performance and ignorable residues, the hydrogel tape would be one of the desirable choices to be used as one‐off healthcare material.

AbstractAmniotic band syndrome (ABS) and limb body wall complex (LBWC) have an overlapping phenotype of multiple congenital anomalies and their etiology is unknown. We aimed to determine the prevalence of ABS and LBWC in Europe from 1980 to 2019 and to describe the spectrum of congenital anomalies. In addition, we investigated maternal age and multiple birth as possible risk factors for the occurrence of ABS and LBWC. We used data from the European surveillance of congenital anomalies (EUROCAT) network including data from 30 registries over 1980–2019. We included all pregnancy outcomes, including live births, stillbirths, and terminations of pregnancy for fetal anomalies. ABS and LBWC cases were extracted from the central EUROCAT database using coding information responses from the registries. In total, 866 ABS cases and 451 LBWC cases were included in this study. The mean prevalence was 0.53/10,000 births for ABS and 0.34/10,000 births for LBWC during the 40 years. Prevalence of both ABS and LBWC was lower in the 1980s and higher in the United Kingdom. Limb anomalies and neural tube defects were commonly seen in ABS, whereas in LBWC abdominal and thoracic wall defects and limb anomalies were most prevalent. Twinning was confirmed as a risk factor for both ABS and LBWC. This study includes the largest cohort of ABS and LBWC cases ever reported over a large time period using standardized EUROCAT data. Prevalence, clinical characteristics, and the phenotypic spectrum are described, and twinning is confirmed as a risk factor.
Electrochemical Oxidative Cross‐Coupling of Pyrazolones and Diselenides to Construct C‐Se Bonds

Published: December 2022

AbstractOrganoselenium compounds are important molecules owing to their value in medicinal chemistry, material chemistry and biochemistry. The selenation of pharmaceutical molecules is a promising way to find new drugs. Herein, we introduced an electrochemical oxidative cross‐coupling of pyrazolones and diselenides without transition‐metal catalyst and external oxidant. Various pyrazolones and diselenides were compatible, generating the desired products in up to 86% yield. Preliminary mechanistic investigation suggested that a radical/radical cross‐coupling process might be involved in this transformation. This method provides a green and convenient route for directly installing a selenium moiety into bioactive pyrazolone derivatives, which possesses great application potential.
Pubertal timing as an indicator of early life stress in Roman Italy and Roman Gaul

Published: December 2022

AbstractObjectivesPuberty is a period of rapid growth and development, and the age of onset and duration of puberty may serve as an indicator of developmental stress during childhood. In this study, we compare pubertal timing and tempo in individuals from two Roman Imperial cemetery sites, integrating biological and social factors to better understand pubertal timing differences and their possible connection to Early Life Stress (ELS) and peri‐pubertal stress.Materials and MethodsOsteological methods to estimate pubertal timing were applied to 264 individuals from Lisieux‐Michelet (4th–5th centuries CE; France) and Isola Sacra (1st–4th centuries CE; Italy). Peptide analysis of tooth enamel was used to assess sex in a sub‐sample of pre‐pubertal remains.ResultsIndividuals experienced puberty between 9 and 20 years of age, with females experiencing the acceleration stage earlier than males (p < 0.05, g > 1.2). Between the two sites, no significant differences were noted for age‐at‐death during acceleration, peak height velocity, and deceleration (i.e., the active stages of puberty). Menarche occurred around 15 years of age.DiscussionThe inter‐site comparisons demonstrate similar patterns of pubertal timing and tempo. For males, the pubertal timing aligns with ancient literary descriptions of key puberty milestones. Females entered puberty earlier than literary sources suggest and experienced puberty for an extended period, pointing to possible gendered exposure to ELS and peri‐pubertal stress, influenced by their social status in the Roman Empire. These results demonstrate how pubertal timing and tempo can be used to infer developmental stress in past populations.

Abstract(−)‐Antrocin (1), produced by the medicinal mushroom Antrodia cinnamomea, is a potent antiproliferative compound. The biosynthetic gene cluster of 1 was identified, and the pathway was characterized by heterologous expression. We characterized a haloacid dehalogenase‐like terpene cyclase AncC that biosynthesizes the drimane‐type sesquiterpene (+)‐albicanol (2) from farnesyl pyrophosphate (FPP). Biochemical characterization of AncC, including kinetic studies and mutagenesis, demonstrated the functions of two domains: a terpene cyclase (TC) and a pyrophosphatase (PPase). The TC domain first cyclizes FPP to albicanyl pyrophosphate, and the PPase domain then removes the pyrophosphate to form 2. Intriguingly, AncA (94 % sequence identity to AncC), in the same gene cluster, converts FPP into (R)‐trans‐γ‐monocyclofarnesol instead of 2. Notably, Y283/F375 in the TC domain of AncA serve as a gatekeeper in controlling the formation of a cyclofarnesoid rather than a drimane‐type scaffold.

AbstractThe effect of temperature on the compressive properties of recombinant bamboo was analyzed. At different temperatures (10 ~ 70°C), the failure mode, basic mechanical properties, stress–strain model, and design value of the compressive strength of hot‐pressed reconstituted bamboo were investigated through axial unidirectional compression tests. The results indicate that with a rise in temperature, the reconstituted bamboo material changes from brittle to ductile, showing three failure modes: splitting failure, shear failure, and buckling cracking failure. The ultimate compressive strength of reconstituted bamboo decreased from 79.96 to 40.81 MPa, a decrease of 48.96%, and the compressive strain of reconstituted bamboo increased from 0.0069 to 0.0120, an increase of 72.16%. Based on the Richard‐Abbott model, the function relation between the elastic modulus reduction factor (λE1,T) and the post‐yield modulus reduction factor (λE2,T) of bamboo compression specimens and the temperature were obtained. A model of the design value of the compression strength considering temperature was established, and the design value of the compression strength was evaluated.
