The phenomenon of D. Trump and scenarios of US-Russian relations

This article examines the foreign policy platform of Donald Trump, based his proposals, the composition of his advisers and supporting coalitions. Second focus of the article is the internal political context and limitations to the new administration of the White House. Finally, there are conclusions for Russia and possible scenarios for the development of bilateral relations after the inauguration of Donald Trump.The future of Russian-American relations is the key uncertainty of 2017, from which to a great extent depends the general direction of Russian foreign policy. The development of relations can go in several directions, which is conditioned to success or failure of Trump domestic economic program, as well as high or low level of conflict behavior of new US administration in its foreign policy. From the perspective of economic and internal policy the criterion of success for Trump will be the speed with which he could launch a legislative mechanism for tax reform and infrastructure investment despite the Democrats opposition. From the perspective of foreign policy, the main uncertainty in US-Russia relations will be about the future of confrontation in Eastern Europe and willingness of the parties to cooperate in stabilizing the situation in the Middle East, despite the differences in objectives and choice of allies. A key condition for normalizing relations remains the preservation of strategic balance between Russia and the United States.

Long Coronavirus Disease Symptoms and their Association with Different Risk Factors

Abstract Background: Although there are some studies trying to detect various long or post coronavirus disease (COVID-19) symptoms and some risk factors, long COVID-19 symptoms and their association with some possible risk factors such as age, sex, blood group, and oxygen level are still not well understood and required more studies worldwide. Objective: Therefore, this study included 206 patients. My questionary has different questions for the participants such as the type of symptoms they had post COVID-19 infection, to determine the most prevalence long symptoms. Materials and Methods: Moreover, to determine the association of post-acute sequelae of COVID-19 with some risk factors, the questionnaire included questions about the participant’s age, gender, blood group, and oxygen rate during the infection. Results: My results showed that fatigue and muscle pain are the most prevalent long or post COVID-19 symptoms followed by forgetfulness and depression, chest pain and cough, loss of smell and taste, diarrhea, and abdominal pain. Also the results found that female patents, and persons with age from 19 to 29, as well as positive Rh blood group except AB+ are more susceptible to long symptoms. Moreover, the results showed that there is an association between oxygen rate reduction and the long COVID-19 symptoms. Conclusion: Some corona virus patients develop post disease symptoms, and it looks like that variable factors influence that. So understanding the correlation between appearance of the long COVID-symptoms and these the risk factors presents valuable insights, the conclusions warrant justification through larger clinical trials.

Regularities in the geographical distribution of durmast oak forests in Polissia

The regularities of geographical distribution and the current state of rare phytocoenosis are essential tasks of ecological research. The durmast oak forests of Polissia are such plant communities. The subjects of the study were the durmast oak forests of Volyn Polissia (Volyn region), Maly Polissia (Rivne region), and Central Polissia (Zhytomyr region). Field studies were conducted in 2008–2023. Phytocenotic descriptions were carried out on plots of 0.25 ha each. The edificator of these forests, the durmast oak Quercus petraea Mattuschka (Liebl.), is a stenotopic species of Pollisian flora, typical of specific ecotopes with warm microclimatic conditions on south-facing slopes and soddy-podzolic soils, formed on the eluvium of brim rocks (pink sandstones, limestone oolites, and moraine with granite boulders). In contrast to zonal oak forests formed by Quercus robur L., durmast oak forests are insular, extrazonal communities of Polissia. The Ovrutch-Slovechansky ridge, like Central Polissia in general, is a unique refugium of Tertiary relicts, including Q. petraea. Local populations of this species in Volyn Polissia, confined to moraine deposits, are apparently relicts of the Mindel-Riss interglacial. The same relicts are the sedge forests of Maly Polissia in the Ostroh Pass Valley, which were formed and shaped during the glacial period. As rare, relict, extrazonal communities, the durmast oak forests of Polissia are of considerable interest from a phytosozological perspective. The protection of durmast oak forests in Polissia is now sufficiently ensured. It only requires some improvement. Taking into account the value of gene pool of Quercus petraea near the eastern limit of its range in Europe, it is necessary to expand the afforestation efforts for this species in Ukraine.

Thermal comfort for office work with special reference to Kuching area

This project is to evaluate the current thermal comfort conditions of airconditioned office rooms through collecting data from site and subjective assessment.
The field measurements consider the environment parameters such as temperature, relative humidity, radiation (mean radiant temperature) and air velocity.
It was found that the measured air temperatures, relative humidities, mean radiant temperatures and air velocities were within the limits of thermal comfort standard, although temperature and relative humidity were located at the extreme of the limits. The predicted results showed good distributions of airflow and temperature
gradient. The overall comfort vote, predicted mean vote and predicted percentage of dissatisfied indices found the occupants to be comfortable even though the thermal
sensation vote was within the slightly cool category. Additionally, recommendations were made to improve the thermal comfort condition and reduce the energy-cost by
temperature control in the office rooms.

A Carrier-Free<sup><b>32</b></sup>P-Labeled Edman Reagent for the Detection of Proteins in the Femtomole Range

A new route for synthesis of a 32P-labeled Edman reagent 2-(4-isothiocyanatophenoxy)-1,3,2-dioxaphosphinane 2-oxide (PEPITC) is reported. The carrier-free [32P]-PEPITC (specific radioactivity 3.3 X 10(17) Bq/mol) in theory allows the labeling and detection of a minimum amount of 0.1 femtomol of protein. The advantages of the new reagent, which has previously been used for protein sequencing, are demonstrated by gelelectrophoretical and immunological experiments. Its major role is seen in the quantitative monitoring of protein elution from preparative one- and two-dimensional gels. Proteins thus obtained are, after the usual desalting steps, ready for sequencing.

Post-transcriptional gene silencing (PTGS) in oil palms infected with coconut cadang-cadang viroid (CCCVd) variants

Post-transcriptional gene silencing (PTGS), also known as RNA silencing, is a natural host defense mechanism that regulates gene expression in eukaryotes and results in the&#13;\nsequence-specific degradation of single stranded RNAs (ssRNAs) from genetic elements of internal or foreign origin. Based on the detection of short interference RNA (siRNAs),several viroids have been shown to induce PTGS. Recently, Coconut cadang-caang viroid (CCCVd) variants had been detected in commercial oil palm plantations in&#13;\nMalaysia. CCCVd is the causal agent of the lethal Coconut cadang-cadang disease in the Philippines. Losses over 30 million coconut palms have been estimated since the disease&#13;\nwas first reported. CCCVd variants in oil palm were reported to be present at much lower concentrations than of CCCVd in coconut palm. Reports suggested that the low&#13;\n concentrations of the oil palm variants could be due to PTGS. In view of this, these studies were conducted to examine the presence of PTGS targeting against CCCVd&#13;\nvariants in oil palm, optimize the detection method and also sequence the CCCVd variants in oil palm with PTGS. Samples were collected from commercial oil palm plantations in Malaysia. Large amount of nucleic acid extractions, polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, electroblotting, hybridization and immunological detections were optimized for detection of siRNA and the CCCVd variant. The results show that combination of Phenol-SDS extraction, 15% denaturing polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, electrobloting and autoradiography showed the best result for the detection of CCCVd variants. siRNA were absent from the oil palm isolates that were sampled in this study, it could be due to undetectable, suppression from host or quasi species. CCCVd variants were sequenced from four symptomatic palms and one asymptomatic oil palm with Reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR),&#13;\ncloning and sequencing. The expected amplicons of about 200-300 bp were successfully amplified, cloned and sequenced. The sequence showed 99% sequence homology to&#13;\nCCCVd (246 nt) from coconut variants.

Studies of the Human Testis. I. Biosynthetic Pathways for Androgen Formation in Human Testicular Tissue<i>In Vitro</i>

Thirty-four incubations of minced testis tissue from five patients with prostatic carcinoma were performed for different periods of time with labeled precursors pregnenolone, progesterone, 17-hydroxypregnenolone, 17-hydroxyprogesterone, dehydroepiandrosterone (DHA), androst-4-ene-3,17-dione (Δ4-dione), and androst-5-ene-3β, 17β-diol (Δ5-diol) singly or in varying combinations. Testosterone (T) and the Δ5 and Δ4 intermediates which have been suggested as possible precursors of T were identified. Metabolism of pregnenolone or 17-hydroxypregnenolone yielded steadily increasing T with a bell shaped curve depicting the Δ5 intermediates, whereas the recovery of Δ4 intermediates remained low throughout the incubation period. From a comparison of the 3H/14C ratio of intermediates with the 3H/14C ratio of T following incubations with two labeled precursors, it appeared that T is formed more readily from pregnenolone than progesterone; from 17-hydroxypregnenolone than pregnenolone, progesterone or 17-hydroxyprogesterone; and from DHA than 17-hydroxyprogesterone or 17-hydroxypregnenolone. Δ4-dione converted to T more efficiently than did Δ5-diol. The changing pattern of the intermediates with time suggested that for the Δ4 pathway the C17–20 lyase reaction is rate limiting and for the Δ5 pathway the 3β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase plus isomerase activity is rate limiting. On the basis of these studies, it is postulated that the predominant pathway from pregnenolone to T in human testes in vitro under the conditions used is as follows; pregnenolone to 17-hydroxypregnenolone to DHA to Δ5-diol to T.

Perceptions of Similarity and Responsibility Attributions to an Acquaintance Sexual Assault Victim

Individuals view similar rape victims as less responsible for the rape than victims perceived as dissimilar. However, it is unclear if individuals hold victims they perceive as similar less responsible for the assault, or if individuals view themselves as more similar to victims they do not view as responsible for the assault. The current study, therefore, examined the temporal relationship between these constructs. A total of 167 college women listened to a date narrative that ended in sexual assault, consensual sex, or no sexual activity (these last two served as controls). Results supported that participants viewed themselves as less similar to the woman in the narrative when the date ended in sexual assault. Only similarity ratings made following learning that the woman was sexually assaulted predicted responsibility attributions suggesting that viewing a victim as responsible for the assault results in decreased perceptions of similarity toward her. Implications and suggestions for future research are discussed.

Does Religion Affect Attitudes Towards Same-Sex Marriage?

Previous scholarship suggests that religion tends to play a role in people's attitudes towards same-sex marriage. The purpose of this study is to examine whether four aspect of religion (church attendance, church affiliation, religiosity, and conflict between religious beliefs and homosexuality) play a role in shaping attitudes towards same-sex marriage. Data from the Pew Research Centers 2013 Political Survey were utilized (N = 1504), and OLS regressions were used to test the hypotheses. The results indicated that conflict between religious beliefs and homosexuality was the strongest predictor of unfavorable attitudes towards same-sex marriage. It was also found that compared to non-religious, Catholics and Jews tend to have more favorable attitudes towards same sex marriage, whereas other Christians were found to have less favorable attitudes. The results of this thesis suggest that religion does play a significant role in attitudes towards same-sex marriage, especially conflict been religious beliefs and homosexuality.

Enhancing AES Security based on Camellia Key Schedule

The primary function of AES is security; this is where the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) comes into play. Combining AES with an application significantly impacts its capacity to safeguard sensitive data. These include secure communications or private financial transactions. The adoption of AES in 2001 led to extensive evaluations that consistently demonstrated the effectiveness of AES in preventing attacks from all angles. The investigation suggests making the schedule of AES's keys more flexible to increase its resistance to direct attacks and other potential dangers. Another thing that the probe could consider is incorporating some of the information from Camellia's primary schedule of attacks with the AES algorithm; this would lead to a renaissance of Camellia's vulnerability to cyberattacks due to its complex design. The merge of these advanced Camellia Block Cipher properties onto the already standing AES structure could then bear fruit rich and plentiful. Later, we used the NIST-800-22 test suite to assess the randomness of the altered algorithm, and then we compared the new algorithm to the original AES. The outcomes show significant enhancements to the enhanced algorithm compared to the standard AES

From adrenarche to aging of adrenal zona reticularis: precocious female adrenopause onset

Objective Adaptive changes in DHEA and sulfated-DHEA (DHEAS) production from adrenal zona reticularis (ZR) have been observed in normal and pathological conditions. Here we used three different cohorts to assess timing differences in DHEAS blood level changes and characterize the relationship between early blood DHEAS reduction and cell number changes in women ZR. Materials and methods DHEAS plasma samples ( n = 463) were analyzed in 166 healthy prepubertal girls before pubarche (&lt;9 years) and 324 serum samples from 268 adult females (31.9–83.8 years) without conditions affecting steroidogenesis. Guided by DHEAS blood levels reduction rate, we selected the age range for ZR cell counting using DHEA/DHEAS and phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN), tumor suppressor and cell stress marker, immunostaining, and hematoxylin stained nuclei of 14 post-mortem adrenal glands. Results We confirmed that overweight girls exhibited higher and earlier DHEAS levels and no difference was found compared with the average European and South American girls with a similar body mass index (BMI). Adrenopause onset threshold (AOT) defined as DHEAS blood levels &lt;2040 nmol/L was identified in &gt;35% of the females &gt;40 years old and associated with significantly reduced ZR cell number (based on PTEN and hematoxylin signals). ZR cell loss may in part account for lower DHEA/DHEAS expression, but most cells remain alive with lower DHEA/DHEAS biosynthesis. Conclusion The timely relation between significant reduction of blood DHEAS levels and decreased ZR cell number at the beginning of the 40s suggests that adrenopause is an additional burden for a significant number of middle-aged women, and may become an emergent problem associated with further sex steroids reduction during the menopausal transition.
