Abstract
The article deals with the analysis of risks of an investment project on the example of a project for breeding red deer in the Samara region. The purpose of the study is to determine the list and degree of risks of an investment project associated with the breeding of red deer in the Samara region. Tasks to be solved: - study of the features of the red deer as an investment object; - preparation of a feasibility study for an investment project for breeding red deer, taking into account the climatic, natural, economic and legal characteristics of the region; - determination of the qualitative and quantitative parameters of the risks of an investment project being implemented under these conditions. An investment project related to the breeding of red deer in the Samara region has a unique set of investment risks. A standard qualitative and quantitative methods for assessing the risks and sustainability of investment projects can be used to determine the structure and size. Under these conditions, the investment project has a low and medium level of investment risks, mainly due to the uniqueness of the manufactured product and significant budgetary support for the project. When determining a quantitative risk assessment, it can be seen that when the most significant parameters of the project change in the range from -20% to + 20%, its results remain positive, and the planned production volumes are significantly higher than the break-even point and exceed it by more than 10 times.

Abstract
The use of growth regulators is an effective element of sunflower cultivation technology due to the ability of this class of substances in small quantities to positively affect plant resistance to stressful conditions and pathogens, increase plant productivity and yield quality. In 2019-2020, we studied the effect of the growth regulator ORGANOSTIM® based on water solutions of taxifolin and crezacin on the yield, seed quality and yield structure indicators of sunflower on leached chernozem of the central climatic area of the Krasnodar region. Presowing seed treatment and foliar spraying at the stages of 6 true leaves development and budding contributed to a significant increase in the number of seeds per head. This resulted in an increase in sunflower seed yield by 5.2-7.3 % and an increase in oil yield by 6.3-8.6 %.

Abstract
The article presents the research data on the effect of Fusarium blight, Phoma rot, and Sclerotinia blight on the plant productivity of winter and spring rapeseed, brown mustard, and white mustard. As a result of studies, we found that Fusarium blight (the pathogens are fungi of the genus Fusarium Link) was the most harmful for the spring rapeseed, brown and white mustard – affection by it significantly decreased plant productivity. At 4 points of affection degree of plants, the harmfulness of the disease reached 71.2, 82.4, and 87.2 %, respectively. On winter rapeseed and mustard, plant productivity was considerably decreased by affection by Phoma rot in the form of a stem cancer (the pathogen is a fungus Leptosphaeria maculans (Desm.) Ces. et. De Not) and the stem form of Sclerotinia blight (the pathogen is a fungus Sclerotinia sclerotiorum (Lib.) De Bary.). The harmfulness of these diseases at 4 points of affection degree of plants reached 56.7 % and 66.7 % on rapeseed, and 56.6 % and 70.7 % on mustard, respectively.

Abstract
Minimum tillage, as an important element of the sustainable functioning of the agroecosystem, can lead to an increase in weeds in crops, especially when fertilizers are applied and the use of herbicides is reduced. This paper dwells on analyzes the results obtained during 2015-2018 on a long-term three-factor field experience, which included 4 gradations of tillage: moldboard plowing (MP), surface treatment with deep loosening (STL), surface-ploughing treatment (SP) and surface treatment (ST); 6 gradations of fertilizers: No fertilizers (F0), nitrogen (N), straw (S) straw + nitrogen (SN), straw + NPK (SNPK) NPK (NPK); 2 gradations of herbicides: Without herbicides (G0), With herbicides (WG). Our studies indicate that there is no significant effect of tillage on the number and dry weight of weeds. The positive effect of SP and SNPK on reducing the number and weight of perennial weeds and obtaining the highest yield has been established.

Published: June 2022

Abstract

Background
Collagenase Clostridium histolyticum (CCH-aaes; QWO [Endo Aesthetics, Malvern, PA]) is an injectable, enzyme-based treatment indicated for the treatment of moderate to severe cellulite on the buttocks of adult women. The minimally invasive nature of the treatment makes it an attractive option for targeted disruption of the fibrous septae which give rise to the dimples characteristic of cellulite in buttocks and thighs.

Objectives
The article provides an overview of cellulite treatment with CCH-aaes, including patient identification and education, treatment planning, CCH-aaes dilution, injection technique, safety, and early experience with mitigation of adverse events, including bruising.

Methods
As part of a continuing medical education (CME; xMedica, Alpharetta, GA) event on developments in cellulite treatment, a panel of experts developed a course and roundtable, which included lectures on cellulite physiology, new developments in the field of cellulite treatment, demonstrations of injection technique for CCH-aaes, and a review of considerations for the use of CCH-aaes in real-world clinical practice.

Results
The practical guidance presented here is based upon real-world experience with CCH-aaes. The discussion includes strategies based on early experience for how to obtain the best results as well as suggestions on how to mitigate bruising.

Conclusions
CCH-aaes has been a welcome addition to the armamentarium for the treatment of cellulite. With knowledge of proper patient evaluation and injection technique, thorough patient education, diligent photography, and developing research on bruising mitigation, CCH-aaes shows great promise as an effective and safe modality for the management of cellulite.

Published: June 2022

Abstract
One mechanism by which the maternal environment regulates the early embryo is by secretion of cell-signaling molecules. One of these is dickkopf WNT signaling pathway inhibitor 1. Objectives were to (A) resolve discrepancies in the literature regarding effects of dickkopf WNT signaling pathway inhibitor 1 in the bovine embryo on development of trophectoderm and competence to establish pregnancy after embryo transfer and (B) determine whether there are long-term consequences of dickkopf WNT signaling pathway inhibitor 1 on placental function and postnatal phenotype. Embryos produced in vitro were cultured with vehicle or 100 ng/mL recombinant human dickkopf WNT signaling pathway inhibitor 1 from Days 5 to 7.5 of development (i.e., the morula and blastocyst stages of development). dickkopf WNT signaling pathway inhibitor 1 increased the number of cells positive for the trophectoderm marker CDX2 at Day 7.5 of development while having no effect on number of cells positive for the inner cell mass marker SOX2. There was no effect of dickkopf WNT signaling pathway inhibitor 1 on pregnancy or calving rate after transfer of blastocysts produced with Y-sorted semen to either lactating dairy cows or suckling beef cows. Treatment with dickkopf WNT signaling pathway inhibitor 1 at the morula-to-blastocyst stages programmed placental function, as measured by an effect of dickkopf WNT signaling pathway inhibitor 1 on plasma concentrations of pregnancy associated glycoproteins and placental lactogen at Day 160 of gestation (although not on other days examined). dickkopf WNT signaling pathway inhibitor 1 treatment also resulted in calves that were heavier at birth as compared to calves derived from control embryos. After birth, dickkopf WNT signaling pathway inhibitor 1 calves grew slower than controls. Results confirm that dickkopf WNT signaling pathway inhibitor 1 alters the developmental program of the bovine embryo to affect both prenatal and postnatal phenotypes.
The Versatility of Simplicity: Structures of Cardiocephaloides longicollis Used for Different Purposes during Cercarial Transmission

Published: June 2022

Synopsis
Transmission and infection strategies are critical for completing the life cycles of trematode parasites, which are characterized by complex life cycles involving multiple hosts and stages. Transmission between the first and second intermediate hosts typically relies on cercariae, a free-swimming larval stage that displays a series of behaviors to efficiently disperse, locate, attach to, and infect the next host. The aim of this study is to provide detailed information on behaviors used by furcocercariae (bifurcated tail) during its transmission from the snail to the fish host, using the laboratory-established model of Cardiocephaloides longicollis (Strigeidae). These cercariae are released from snails into seawater, where they swim, locate, penetrate the skin of fish, and encyst as metacercariae in their brain. In a series of in vivo assays, freshly-emerged cercariae were used to visually study their behavior and locomotion. Histopathology of experimentally infected gilthead seabreams with C. longicollis, taken at sequential post-infections times, were analysed to localize the migrating cercariae to the fish brain. Our results show that simplicity and versatility are the key features for the success of cercariae transmission by using their organs for different purposes. While 80 % of the behavior was spent in a resting position, the most common swimming behavior was with tail-first, which is commonly described in furcocercariae to reach the host microhabitat. However, C. longicollis relies more on the furcae of the tail by using them as a propeller providing thrust and guidance when they swim, instead of using the tail stem. After attaching to the fish skin, cercariae rapidly creep on it using the oral- and ventral-suckers simulating a leech-like movement until they find a suitable penetration site. To penetrate, cercariae press the cephalic structures against the skin, while the ventral-sucker anchors the cercariae to it. After this, they switch their locomotion to a slow peristaltic movement, opening the path through tissues with the help of their cephalic structures and anchoring their body with their surface spines. This is consistent with the post-penetration histological analyses, which suggested that C. longicollis cercariae move between the cells of the connective tissue and muscle fibers when migrating towards the fish's brain, without provoking relevant tissue damage or host responses. Understanding the versatility of cercarial structures to adapt to external conditions enriches our knowledge on parasites and their transmission ecology, opening the door to the design of avoidance methods in fish farms struggling with harmful parasites.
Verification of permeability for ionic liquid into biological specimens by using a mass spectrometer
Authors: Yamashita Taiji , Miyamoto Kenji , Yonenobu Hitoshi 
Published: June 2022

Abstract
The pretreatment method with ionic liquids (ILs) is convenient for scanning electron microscope (SEM) observation of biological specimens. It needs neither fixation nor vacuum vapor deposition of metals to prevent fracture, deformation and charge-up. Although it was pointed out that the reason why the specimens are not fractured or deformed under the vacuum without fixation is the penetration of the ILs into cells and replacement with the intercellular water of the specimen, the experimental results were not yet self-consistent. In this study, in order to verify this hypothesis, we investigated whether the components of 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium methylphosphonate ([EMIM][MePO3]) are detectable by using a time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometer (TOF-SIMS) and liquid chromatography. It was found that the components of [EMIM][MePO3] could be detected from inside of the biological specimens. Moreover, it was verified that there is no fracture and deformation of the specimen, whose residual concentration of the IL on the surface would be less than the limit of detection by TOF-SIMS. Therefore, these experimental results explicitly show that penetration of [EMIM][MePO3] into the specimen and subsequent replacement with the intercellular water inside the body is the reason for preventing fracture and deformation of the specimen under the vacuum.
What are the spectroscopic binaries with high-mass functions near the Gaia DR3 main sequence?
Authors: El-Badry Kareem , Rix Hans-Walter 
Published: June 2022

ABSTRACT
The third data release of the Gaia mission includes orbital solutions for &gt;105 single-lined spectroscopic binaries, representing more than an order of magnitude increase in sample size over all previous studies. This data set is a treasure trove for searches for quiescent black hole + normal star binaries. We investigate one population of black hole candidate binaries highlighted in the data release: sources near the main sequence in the colour–magnitude diagram (CMD) with dynamically inferred companion masses M2 larger than the CMD-inferred mass of the luminous star. We model light curves, spectral energy distributions, and archival spectra of the 14 such objects in DR3 with high-significance orbital solutions and inferred $M_2 \gt 3\, {\rm M}_{\odot }$. We find that 100 per cent of these sources are mass-transfer binaries containing a highly stripped lower giant donor (0.2 ≲ M/M⊙ ≲ 0.4) and much more massive (2 ≲ M/M⊙ ≲ 2.5) main-sequence accretor. The Gaia orbital solutions are for the donors, which contribute about half the light in the Gaia RVS bandpass but only $\lesssim 20{{\ \rm per\ cent}}$ in the g band. The accretors’ broad spectral features likely prevented the sources from being classified as double-lined. The donors are all close to Roche lobe filling ($R/R_{\rm Roche\, lobe}\gt 0.8$), but modelling suggests that a majority are detached ($R/R_{\rm Roche\, lobe}\lt 1$). Binary evolution models predict that these systems will soon become detached helium white dwarf + main-sequence ‘EL CVn’ binaries. Our investigation highlights both the power of Gaia data for selecting interesting subpopulations of binaries and the ways in which binary evolution can bamboozle standard CMD-based stellar-mass estimates.
A Phylogenomic Backbone for Gastropod Molluscs

Published: June 2022

AbstractGastropods have survived several mass extinctions during their evolutionary history resulting in extraordinary diversity in morphology, ecology, and developmental modes, which complicate the reconstruction of a robust phylogeny. Currently, gastropods are divided into six subclasses: Caenogastropoda, Heterobranchia, Neomphaliones, Neritimorpha, Patellogastropoda, and Vetigastropoda. Phylogenetic relationships among these taxa historically lack consensus, despite numerous efforts using morphological and molecular information. We generated sequence data for transcriptomes derived from 12 taxa belonging to clades with little or no prior representation in previous studies in order to infer the deeper cladogenetic events within Gastropoda and, for the first time, infer the position of the deep-sea Neomphaliones using a phylogenomic approach. We explored the impact of missing data, homoplasy, and compositional heterogeneity on the inferred phylogenetic hypotheses. We recovered a highly supported backbone for gastropod relationships that is congruent with morphological and mitogenomic evidence, in which Patellogastropoda, true limpets, are the sister lineage to all other gastropods (Orthogastropoda) which are divided into two main clades 1) Vetigastropoda $s.l.$ (including Pleurotomariida $+$ Neomphaliones) and 2) Neritimorpha $+$ (Caenogastropoda $+$ Heterobranchia). As such, our results support the recognition of five subclasses (or infraclasses) in Gastropoda: Patellogastropoda, Vetigastropoda, Neritimorpha, Caenogastropoda, and Heterobranchia.
