Upper Eocene benthic foraminiferal assemblages from Western Siberia (Trans-Ural Region): a multi-proxy approach to infer environmental changes

During the Late Eocene, the West Siberian Basin became increasingly isolated from the Peri-Tethys Ocean. The final stage of this marine connection is marked by sediments of the Tavda Formation thatwere deposited during the Bartonian and Priabonion. We have analyzed the composition, structure and diversity of benthic foraminiferal assemblages in core material from the Kyshtyrla Quarry located in the southwest of Western Siberia to reconstruct the depositional environment during the terminal phase of marine sedimentation in theWest Siberian Basin (Upper Tavda Subformation). The foraminiferal record was jointly used with lithological and geochemical multi-proxy data to infer the chronology of events that shaped the critical transition until the complete closure of the basin. Based on stratigraphic index markers, a Priabonian age is indicated for sediments of the Upper Tavda Subformation. From the bottom to the top of the core, the foraminiferal biotas progressively shift from shallow subtidal to low-diverse and stress-tolerant intertidal assemblages, indicative for an increasing isolation of the West Siberian Basin. The increasing shallowing of the marine basin is accompanied by a gradual shift in grain size, and the continuous presence of benthic foraminifera and ratios of geochemical proxies (Sr/Ba, Si/Al, Ti/Al, Zr/Al, K/Al, and U/Th) indicate that mainly marine to brackish water conditions prevailed.

Obchody liturgiczne Wielkiego Tygodnia w świetle współczesnych badań nad wydarzeniami paschalnymi

Holy Week, crowned by the Resurrection from the dead, has for centuries been the most important liturgical event of the year. In terms of importance, it can only be compared to the Lord’s Day — Sunday. Both celebrations have their origins in Judaism, where the Sabbath and Passover were treated similarly. The Sabbath was a day for the Lord, and Passover was the most important festival. The saving events are conditioned by historical time, as recorded by the Evangelists. Unfortunately, despite the accuracy of the Gospel authors, it is still difficult to establish a precise chronology, or even to indicate the year in which the crucifixion took place. In the following article, the formation of the Holy Week tradition is presented together with a historical reference as well as three contemporary proposals of dating the Passion. The initial stage was the so-called dispute over the date of Easter and it has also been presented first. Then the dynamic development of the tradition of Holy Week in the fourth century, and finally the most recent historical research covering the chronology of the Paschal events.

Abstract 1177: The chronology of immune-related adverse events (irAEs)-mechanistic implications

Abstract Immune Oncology (IO) is a novel component of the oncology armamentarium given its distinct mechanism of action, and by extension, unique mechanisms of toxicity (Tx). To recognize these unusual Txs, the term irAEs was popularized in clinical trials. Most organs have been involved by irAEs and autoimmunity has been implicated commonly by practicing oncologists. The onset of irAEs has not been studied well, however. We reasoned that autoimmune phenomena would be expected early after IO, since this is the timeframe within which T-cells expand to exert their effects on tumor and other ‘self’ tissues. It follows that if autoimmunity is the sole mechanism of irAEs, such toxicities should be reported early. Mechanism(s) of irARs may prove important for IO duration discussions. In some cases, tumor antigenic epitopes may mimic self-tissues, and in such cases irAEs develop early after initiation of IO. We hypothesized that irAEs have distinct chronology: earlier events representing autoimmunity (unavoidable); later events reflecting an intercurrent exposure to an antigen (e.g., virus) and therefore are avoidable by limiting duration of IO. Methods: We reviewed published IO monotherapy trials if individual patient data (swimmers’ plot) were reported. We derived the timing and frequency of Tx. We used therapy discontinuation without progressive disease as a surrogate for Tx if reported before the planned 24 months IO therapy.Results: Table depicts the data on included clinical trialsConclusion: The emergence of irAEs after IO extends over a protracted periods with 86% of events occurring beyond 4 months of IO. Though responses occasionally develop late after IO, for Tx consideration, T-cell expansion starts within days of IO initiation, and if autoimmunity is the mediator of Tx, irAEs would emerge only early. Our results suggest dual mechanisms and provide one more impetus to consider shortening IO duration.

The die-hards, negotiators and migrants: Portraits of doctors' career pathways through specialisation.

Global workforce shortages in medical specialties strain healthcare systems, jeopardising patient outcomes. Enhancing recruitment strategies by supporting professional identity (PI) development may be one way to address this workforce gap-yet little research has explored this topic. The goal of the current study was to explore specialty-specific recruitment through considering PI. As proposed causes of workforce shortages in anatomical pathology (AP) bear similarities to many other specialties, this study uses the field of AP as a model for specialist PI development and asks: (1) why, how and when do doctors choose to pursue AP training and (2) what can be learned from this for recruitment to AP and other specialties? A qualitative research approach was undertaken using narrative inquiry. Interviews with junior doctors interested in AP, AP registrars and AP consultants from Australia and New Zealand were interpreted as stories via 're-storying'. Narrative synthesis of participants' collective stories identified chronological key events (i.e. 'turning points') in choosing AP. Narrative synthesis resulted in identification of three portraits entering medical specialist training: (1) die-hards, deciding upon initial exposure; (2) negotiators, choosing after comparing specialties; and (3) migrants, seeking to move away from non-pathology specialties. The negotiators and migrants cemented their decision to pursue AP as a postgraduate doctor, whereas the die-hards made this decision during medical school. Given the similarities in portrait traits between AP and other specialties across the literature, our results suggest ways to support specialty recruitment using PI development. We propose a medical specialist recruitment framework to support the PI development of doctors with die-hard, negotiator and migrant traits. Use of this framework could enhance current specialty-specific recruitment approaches, particularly in fields challenged by workforce shortages.

A Comprehensive Assessment of the Morphological Development of Inflorescence, Yield Potential, and Growth Attributes of Summer-Grown, Greenhouse Cherry Tomatoes

Understanding how cherry tomatoes respond to variations in greenhouse microclimate is crucial for optimizing tomato production in a controlled environment. The present study delves into the intricate relationship between summer-grown cherry tomatoes (Cheramy F1) and greenhouse conditions, exploring the influence of these conditions on growth attributes, inflorescence development, and yield potential. The aim of the study was to characterize the chronology of reproductive events, specifically flowering and fruit stages, in correlation with the prevailing greenhouse climate during the development of the first ten inflorescences on the plant. The performance of each inflorescence has been ranked based on available data, which involve a comparative analysis of both the time duration (number of days) and the frequency of yield-contributing traits, specifically the total number of flowers at the anthesis stage. The duration of each stage required for completion was recorded and presented as a productivity rate factor. Greenhouse conditions exhibited variations during the vegetative and reproductive stages, respectively, as follows: temperature - 25.1 °C and 21.33 °C, CO2 levels - 484.85 ppm and 458.85 ppm, light intensity - 367.94 W/m2 and 349.52 W/m2, and humidity - 73.23% and 89.73%. The collected data conclusively demonstrated a substantial impact of greenhouse microclimate on plant growth, productivity, and inflorescence development. The development of flowers and fruit has been categorized into five stages: the fruit bud stage (FB), the anthesis stage (AS), the fruit setting stage (FS), the fruit maturation stage (FM), and the fruit ripening stage (FR). An irregular productivity and development response was noted across the first (close to roots) to the tenth inflorescence. Inflorescence 5 demonstrated the highest overall performance, followed by inflorescence numbers 4 and 6. The study findings provide valuable insights for enhancing greenhouse operations, emphasizing the improvement of both the yield and growth of cherry tomatoes while promoting environmental sustainability. A statistical analysis of variance was used to rigorously examine the presented results, conducted at a confidence level of p < 0.05.

Assessment of the migration processes on the example of Kazakhstan

Today's migration is a rather complex and controversial process. Having a number of advantages and positive results for the development of the receiving and sending countries, it also leads to negative consequences. The more a country's population is involved in migration processes, the more acutely its consequences manifest. The situation is also aggravated by the increasing economic and political crises, which negatively affect the ability of third countries to maintain internal stability. The issue does not exclude the Central Asian region in the context of the intensification of local armed conflicts in adjacent territories and current geopolitical aspects. The study purpose is to assess migration processes and their impact on the Republic of Kazakhstan as the one of the ‘host’ countries in Central Asia. A chronology of key economic events regarding strategic opportunities in the migration processes was carried out. Taking into account the current regional and global challenges, it has been established that the current trends in migration processes have a positive effect on the development of the labor market as an important component of the national economy, contributing to an increase in the welfare of the country. At the same time, the policy of Kazakhstan is also trying to pursue a pragmatic immigration policy to prevent the negative impact of immigrants on the local population.

Aspects of Breeding Performance of Scopoli’s Shearwater (Calonectris diomedea): The Case of the Largest Colony in Greece

Here we report, for the first time, aspects of the breeding performance of Scopoli’s Shearwater (Calonectris diomedea) in one of its largest colonies in Europe, i.e., in the Strofades island group. We describe the chronology of the main events in the breeding cycle of this species on Stamfani Island, the largest island of this island group, including the evaluation of breeding performance and the influence of ecological factors (nesting habitat, nest type, nest-entrance orientation, and occupation rate per nest) on breeding success. The Scopoli’s Shearwater colony of Stamfani Island exhibited a high degree of breeding synchrony and nest site tenacity. The data obtained by monitoring 472 nests during five consecutive years (2008–2012), showed a breeding success (fledging per occupied nest per year) of up to 66.6%. In addition, hatching success (chick hatched successfully per egg laid) was 76.9%, and fledging success (fledging young per chick hatched successfully) was 86.8%. We also observed annual variations in breeding performance during that period. These results seemed to be influenced positively by the breeding experience of the pair. Furthermore, the type of nest site and the nest-entrance orientation were found to have an effect on breeding success rates, whereas the nesting habitat did not, indicating low predation risk by rats.

Analysis of public responses to political controversies in the beauty industry: A case study of Rose All Day and Esqa Brand owners in support of Israel

On October 30, 2023, Indonesia's beauty industry was shocked by the boycott of two well-known local brands, ESQA and Rose All Day. The trigger for this boycott was the actions of the owners of the two brands, Angelina Cindy and Tiffany Danielle, who gave support to Israel by "liking" Gal Gadot's controversial post. The public response to this action led to disappointment and boycott from most Indonesian netizens. This research uses a qualitative method with a literature study approach. Analysis was conducted on the chronology of events, public responses on social media, and apologies from brand owners. The data was analyzed to understand the impact of individual actions in the context of social media and how public responses affect brand reputation. A simple action such as a "like" on social media by a brand owner can trigger a large public response and significantly affect brand reputation. Public responses to political controversies can result in product boycotts and create pressure on companies to take a stand. The brand owners, in this case Angelina Cindy and Tiffany Danielle, responded by apologizing and clarifying their stance on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. This incident highlights the complexity of public response, the impact of individuals in the age of social media, and the need for dialog and education in dealing with sensitive issues.

Recognizing big mantle wedges in deep time: Constraints from the Western Mongolia Collage in Central Asia

Abstract A big mantle wedge (BMW) is defined as the broad region of upper mantle above a stagnant slab in the mantle transition zone (MTZ). It is a common and significant structure within Earth's interior at modern convergent plate margins as revealed by seismic data yet rarely identified in fossil convergent systems. We propose the existence of a BMW beneath the Western Mongolia Collage during the early to middle Paleozoic based on a comprehensive chronology of geological events that characterized the accretionary orogen in this region. The trench-arc system initially developed above a NE-dipping subduction zone, with subduction-related arc magmatism clustered at ca. 530–490 Ma and accumulations of flysch-like sequences from the Cambrian to early Silurian constituting the accretionary wedge of the Altai Zone. The westward migration of the arc was likely driven by slab rollback and trench retreat, leading to gradual formation of a BMW as the slab stagnated at the MTZ. The BMW influenced the tectonic evolution of the entire Western Mongolia Collage, inducing Ordovician–Silurian intraplate magmatism in regions inboard of the migrating magmatic arc and the potential opening of the Mongol-Okhotsk Ocean. Westward movement of the trench-arc continued until the Devonian, resulting in back-arc basin formation in the Chinese Altai and intraplate magmatism in the Hovd and Lake Zones of the Western Mongolia Collage, forming a trench–arc–back-arc and intraplate tectonic system. Mantle flow within the BMW is inferred to have impacted magmatism, basin migration, and the stress and thermal state of the overriding plate.

The spiritual life of society through the prism of the activity of libraries in Europe at the intersection of the Middle Ages and Modern Times

The article is devoted to the historical influence of European libraries on the spiritual life of society, in particular, by the example of the phenomenon of witch hunting. In accordance with the basic principles of historical science, based on the analysis of a number of historical sources and modern research, the question of the influence of libraries on the phenomenon of witch hunts in Europe is being clarified. Research methods include both general scientific and specific historical methods. A comparative historical and descriptive approach is applied to the cited historical sources. The influence of libraries on the phenomenon of witch hunting in Europe is shown based on a review of historical sources about libraries on the phenomenon of witch hunting in Europe. Based on a review of historical sources about libraries dedicated to the phenomenon of witch hunting in Europe, the first attempt has been made to study the direct impact of libraries on the phenomenon of witch hunting in Europe. In this study, comparative historical and descriptive approaches of the above historical sources were used. Using these methods of processing archival documents, information on the influence of European libraries on the phenomenon of witch hunts is revealed on the basis of available sources. A review of some historical sources is proposed in order to clarify the influence of European libraries on the phenomenon of witch hunts in the context of certain chronological frameworks and socio-political conditions. The object of the study is the literature and libraries of Europe in transition. A problem-chronological method was used to study the influence of libraries on the phenomenon of witch hunts. The basis of the research consists of the main principles of historical science. Historicism and scientific research make it possible to assume the main influence of European libraries on the phenomenon of witch hunts according to the chronology of events against the background of the specified historical period of time. At the same time, the array of historical materials found and currently published is strictly taken into account. General scientific and special historical methods constitute the methodology of the presented research.

ALMA Survey of Orion Planck Galactic Cold Clumps (ALMASOP): Molecular Jets and Episodic Accretion in Protostars

Protostellar outflows and jets are almost ubiquitous characteristics during the mass accretion phase and encode the history of stellar accretion, complex organic molecule (COM) formation, and planet formation. Episodic jets are likely connected to episodic accretion through the disk. Despite the importance, studies on episodic accretion and ejection links have not been done yet in a systematic fashion using high-sensitivity and high-resolution observations. To explore episodic accretion mechanisms and the chronologies of episodic events, we investigated 39 fields containing protostars with Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array observations of CO, SiO, and 1.3 mm continuum emission. We detected SiO emission in 19 fields, where 17 sources are driving molecular jets. Jet velocities, mass-loss rates, mass accretion rates, and periods of accretion events appear to have some dependence on the driving forces of the jet (e.g., bolometric luminosity, envelope mass). Next, velocities and mass-loss rates appear to be somewhat correlated with the surrounding envelope mass, suggesting that the presence of high mass around protostars increases the ejection–accretion activity. We determine mean periods of ejection events of 20–175 yr for our sample, which could be associated with perturbation zones of ∼2−25 au extent around the protostars. In addition, mean ejection periods show an apparent anticorrelation with the envelope mass, where high accretion rates may trigger more frequent ejection events. The observed periods of outburst/ejection are much shorter than the freezeout timescale of the simplest COMs like CH3OH, suggesting that episodic events could affect the ice–gas balance inside and around the snowline.

Стосунки вахманів з євреями у таборі смерті Белжець: за архівними матеріалами СБУ

The purpose of the article is to investigate the relationship between the Vakhman staff and Jews who ended up in the Belzec extermination camp, directly or indirectly: during the creation of this camp, during its main functioning, and at the time of the liquidation of this structure, using materials contained in branch archives of the SSU. The research methodology is based on the principles of historicism, systematicity and objectivity, induction, and deduction. The methods used should be considered the method of analysis and partially the chronological, geographical, and historical-genetic methods. The scientific novelty of the research results is attributable to the insufficient study of the problem in the previous period and to the introduction into scientific circulation and processing by the article's author of a complex of little-known archival materials. Conclusions. In the Belzec extermination camp, an established mechanism of execution was involved, in which the Vakhman staff and kapos took a direct part in all its stages. Kapos and workers from the brigades allowed the camp management to replace ordinary Vakhmans at some stages of the destruction of prisoners, the reason for which was a conflict of interests. There were different ways of killing Jews: by shooting, gassing, and physical beating. Considering the Jews as workers, we found out that they were not a homogeneous category, divided by gender – into men's and women's teams, by professional orientation – into team workers and narrowly qualified workers, by social stratum – into ordinary workers and «seniors» in the form of kapo and oberkapo. Relations between the Vakhmans and the Jews had an exclusively «functional» character. The files mentioned only one attempt at a joint action by the Vakhman staff and the prisoners against the German administration, which ended in failure. The result was the tragic end of the labor brigade, which could serve as an example and perhaps one of the reasons for the uprising in the Sobibor extermination camp. The biggest problem of studying the issue based on the archival files remains the statistical research directions and the event chronology because the evidence gives only approximate dates and data on the number of workers and those killed. Prospects for further research are possible due to the expansion of the source base by attracting new archival cases, as well as due to the method of comparative analysis of various extermination camps and an interdisciplinary approach in the study of psychological portraits of guards and prisoner-workers.

Information and communication technologies in social work and adaptation of people with disabilities: On the materials of foreign studies

The article argues that the content, forms and mechanisms of social work provision at all historical stages of society development are conditioned by chronological events and technologies used in this or that period. The modern stage of social assistance development is characterized by the use of information technologies. The authors present an analysis of foreign practice on the organization of social work and adaptation of people with disabilities with the use of information technologies. Among the approaches considered is the approach of preserving human participation. At the same time, the priority of social service as opposed to technocratic, the approach of “technology in practice”, the approach of proactive position of social workers, the concept of “mixed social work”, etc. are preserved. As the review has shown, the effectiveness of social work should be based on the priority of taking into account the interests of key stakeholders of the activity — social workers and clients of social and socio-medical assistance.

In-situ localization of damage in a Zn-Al-Mg coating deposited on steel by continuous hot-dip galvanizing

Zn-Al-Mg coatings are characterized by a complex microstructure with dendritic and eutectic phases. This heterogeneous phase distribution contributes to multiple deformation and damage mechanisms. The presence of brittle phases promotes crack initiation and propagation. This study reveals a new deformation and damage mechanism of a Zn-Al-Mg coating, where twinning can induce crack initiation in the eutectic region. The chronology of different events leading to crack initiation and propagation is clearly established by in-situ tensile testing in a scanning electron microscope, which helps to establish a detailed characterization of the mechanical behavior of the coating.

EEG epilepsy seizure prediction: the post-processing stage as a chronology

Almost one-third of epileptic patients fail to achieve seizure control through anti-epileptic drug administration. In the scarcity of completely controlling a patient’s epilepsy, seizure prediction plays a significant role in clinical management and providing new therapeutic options such as warning or intervention devices. Seizure prediction algorithms aim to identify the preictal period that Electroencephalogram (EEG) signals can capture. However, this period is associated with substantial heterogeneity, varying among patients or even between seizures from the same patient. The present work proposes a patient-specific seizure prediction algorithm using post-processing techniques to explore the existence of a set of chronological events of brain activity that precedes epileptic seizures. The study was conducted with 37 patients with Temporal Lobe Epilepsy (TLE) from the EPILEPSIAE database. The designed methodology combines univariate linear features with a classifier based on Support Vector Machines (SVM) and two post-processing techniques to handle pre-seizure temporality in an easily explainable way, employing knowledge from network theory. In the Chronological Firing Power approach, we considered the preictal as a sequence of three brain activity events separated in time. In the Cumulative Firing Power approach, we assumed the preictal period as a sequence of three overlapping events. These methodologies were compared with a control approach based on the typical machine learning pipeline. We considered a Seizure Prediction horizon (SPH) of 5 mins and analyzed several values for the Seizure Occurrence Period (SOP) duration, between 10 and 55 mins. Our results showed that the Cumulative Firing Power approach may improve the seizure prediction performance. This new strategy performed above chance for 62% of patients, whereas the control approach only validated 49% of its models.

Систематизация статистических данных о ликвидации пожаров и чрезвычайных ситуаций, возникающих в период специальной военной операции

Purpose. The article provides systematic data on the situation with fires in the Donetsk People's Republic occurring after air and missile strikes of the armed forces of Ukraine and for other reasons in 2022 and in the first half of 2023. The main objectives of the study are as follows: systematization of daily digital indicators of hazardous events during a special military operation in Ukraine and identification of the main types and scale of fires to which fire and rescue units respond during military conflicts. The relevance of the study is accounted for the lack of systematic data on the practice of actual solving modern civil defense problems. Methods. In addition to general scientific methods of analysis and synthesis, the author used empirical methods of describing and comparing texts of the daily operational reports of EMERCOM of DPR on the composition and content of events, their digital indicators related to the real chronology of the military conflict events. Findings. The article assesses the number of fires caused by enemy ammunition strikes and other reasons. Systematized digital data for the considered period of the military conflict are summarized in a tabular form, which creates the possibility of their further scientific processing. Research application field. The outcomes of the study can be used when defining the composition and content of measures to combat fires occurring during military conflicts or resulting from them. Conclusions. The study allowed the authors to draw a number of conclusions. 1. Damage caused by fire in military conflicts must be taken into account independently – damage from attacks by enemy ammunition should be assessed separately from damage from non-military causes. 2. Means and forces of EMERCOM and other bodies are involved in eliminating consequences of emergencies and suppressing fires occurring due to military conflicts or resulting from these conflicts. 3. Statistical data on functioning the unified state system for alerting about emergencies and their elimination (RSChS) in the future must be analyzed with consideration of the data from the reports of EMERCOM of DPR, EMERCOM of LPR and the Ministry of Internal Affairs of DPR, the Ministry of Internal Affairs of LPR, considering them as valid empirical material reliable for scientific research.

Distribution and diversification of Adelphobates, emblematic poison frogs from Brazilian Amazonia.

Adelphobates contains three species, and the inaccurate identification of A. quinquevittatus and the scarcity of records of A. castaneoticus complicate inference of their distributions; the latter species occurs in sympatry with A. galactonotus. Our objective was to revise the distributions of Adelphobates by compiling data and modeling habitat suitability, as range limits may be shaped by landscape features and biotic interactions. We initially analyzed the existence of operational taxonomic units within the nominal species and subsequently inferred the observed and potential distributions, taking into account the possible independent lineages for the three species, and we also generated a molecular timetree to understand the chronology of interspecific diversification events. Adelphobates quinquevittatus was found to have a more easterly distribution than previously described, and specimens with phenotypic variation were found to occur in areas inconsistent with the modeling, and A. castaneoticus was concentrated in the Tapajós-Xingu interfluve, surrounded by A. galactonotus. Models indicated that the right bank of the Xingu River is suitable for both species, indeed, both were found there. Despite Adelphobates species having their distributions delimited by major Amazonian rivers, estimated divergence times predate the formation of the modern river network, suggesting that other mechanisms were involved in their diversification.

Digital Marketing in the Survival and Growth Strategies of Small and Medium-Sized Businesses During the War in Ukraine

This article shows the impact of the war on small and medium-sized businesses in Ukraine during the full-scale invasion of the Russian Federation, which started on February 24, 2022, and ended in September 2023. The object of the study is small and medium-sized enterprises that carry out business activities in Ukraine during a full-scale invasion. The research objective is to determine the business strategies and Internet marketing strategies used by small and medium-sized enterprises after full-scale invasion. The purpose of this study is to identify the most effective Internet marketing strategies and Internet marketing tools that helped small and medium-sized businesses survive the full-scale invasion of Ukraine by the Russian Federation and continue to grow. The study was conducted through in-depth interviews with representatives of small and medium-sized businesses from different regions of Ukraine and from different fields of activity. Based on the categorical analysis of the responses, three periods of enterprise survival were summarized according to the chronology of military and political events in the country. The relevant Internet marketing strategies of small and medium-sized enterprises are identified. Business strategies and Internet marketing strategies that helped small and medium-sized enterprises increase their pre-war economic performance are also highlighted. Certain reasons for the deep crisis of small and medium-sized enterprises are outlined. The intensity and effectiveness of the use of Internet marketing tools by small and medium-sized businesses after a full-scale invasion are determined. The peculiarity of the results is the study of Internet marketing strategies and successful business strategies of small and medium-sized enterprises during the war. The scientific novelty of thisstudy is that it classifies the periods of survival and growth of small and medium-sized enterprises and identifies the most effective Internet marketing strategies for these periods. The efficiency and intensity of using Internet marketing tools were also systematized. The results obtained in the study will help small and medium-sized enterprises overcome crisis conditions and identify areas for the effective use of digital marketing. The findings are of practical value for small and medium-sized enterprises in other countries where there is a possibility of armed conflict.
