Protecting Vulnerable Populations: Informed Consent, Indigenous Gatekeepers of Deities, and Ethical Research Practices

The history of human subjects' research is fraught with instances of exploitation, particularly of vulnerable populations, under the guise of scientific progress. Notably, the Nazi experiments on prisoners during World War II and the U.S. Public Health Service Study of untreated syphilis in African American men in Macon County, Alabama (the Tuskegee syphilis study) stand out. These cases reflect a broader issue where vulnerable populations, unable to safeguard their interests, were exploited for others' benefit. Such abuses led to the establishment of ethical guidelines, codes of conduct, and regulations designed to protect human participants, especially those in vulnerable situations. Vulnerable populations in the course of research have hence been defined as communities or groups that face heightened risks of exploitation due to social, economic, environmental, or historical inequities. Among these are indigenous people who often bear the brunt of marginalisation. This work centres on Indigenous knowledge keepers, highlighting their resilience and invaluable contributions to preserving ancestral wisdom while addressing the unique challenges they face. This paper delves into the ethical principles guiding research, identifies vulnerable populations for research purposes, and instances where they can be breached. While other researchers have espoused issues on several groups of vulnerability, this researcher projects and focuses only on Indigenous gatekeepers of deities as vulnerable groups within Indigenous communities. They hold the responsibility of safeguarding spiritual practices, sacred knowledge, rituals, and sites associated with their deities or spiritual entities and whose cultural and spiritual properties can be appropriated or misused in research. The concept of informed consent is extended beyond individuals to encompass the protection of communities and their cultural heritage. , ensuring cultural integrity and safeguarding against exploitation in the research process. This research employs a qualitative approach, using a literature review, Laws and case studies to explore the ethical guidelines and historical instances of exploitation in human subjects’ research. It examines contemporary research ethics, with a focus on informed consent and the role of indigenous gatekeepers of deities, to propose ethical, legal frameworks that protect both individuals and communities, particularly in research involving indigenous populations.

Fungicidal properties of green microalgae chlorella vulgaris

Mold fungi are a group of microscopic fungi that have a significant impact on agriculture. They not only worsen the quality of products, but also reduce yields due to damage to plants and seeds. Studying the harm caused by mold is an important task of agronomic science, as it contributes to the development of effective control and prevention methods. The presented article examines the results of the influence of Chlorella vulgaris strains of green microalgae on mold fungi common in vegetable crops. Studies have shown that the use of biofertilizers based on Chlorella vulgaris is environmentally friendly due to their minimal accumulation in the soil. In addition, these fertilizers are economically beneficial, since man-made waste products such as phosphorous slags, sewage sludge, and carbon-containing waste can be used to grow biomass of microorganisms and algae. In the course of research, it was found that fertilizers based on Chlorella vulgaris inhibit the growth of mold fungi Mucor sp. and Aspergillus sp. in the soil and on the surface of seeds of agricultural crops. Compared with traditional fertilizers, their effectiveness reaches 28.6±2.2%. These results confirm the promising use of Chlorella vulgaris to protect crops from mold fungi, improve product quality and increase yields.

Modern assessment of copper, lead, cadmium, and nickel concentrations in the water of the Lower Don

Introduction. Anthropogenic impact has affected the state of the lower reaches of the Don River, while reducing the natural reproduction of commercial fish species. Currently, for the conservation and reproduction of commercial fish species, passing and semi-passing fish species are released into the reservoir. Therefore, water quality control, including for the content of heavy metals, of the Lower reaches of the Don is especially important. Materials and methods. The paper presents data from the analytical testing center of the Azov-Black Sea branch of the Russian Research Institute of Fisheries and Oceanography. Water samples were collected at eight monitoring stations in the lower reaches of the river. Dissolved forms of metals such as copper, lead, cadmium, and nickel were detected in the samples. Results. In the course of research, in some samples the concentrations of copper were found to exceed MPC. Such metals as lead, cadmium, and nickel did not exceed MPC throughout the study. Annual and seasonal trend in metal concentrations in water were also established. Limitations. The limitation of the research of this work lies in the fact that water samples were taken in the lower reaches of the Don River at only 8 monitoring stations, which does not provide complete information on the territory of the entire region. Conclusion. The content of heavy metals such as lead, cadmium, and nickel in the water of the Lower Don is safe for the purposes of aquaculture and reproduction of commercial species, since no exceedances of MPC were detected. However, the copper content in some water samples exceeded the MPC, which indicates the contamination of the reservoir, as well as the need to carry out a set of measures to purify water in this facility.

Update on the evolving landscape of pneumococcal capsule types: new discoveries and way forward.

SUMMARYStreptococcus pneumoniae (the "pneumococcus") is a significant human pathogen. The key determinant of pneumococcal fitness and virulence is its ability to produce a protective polysaccharide (PS) capsule, and anti-capsule antibodies mediate serotype-specific opsonophagocytic killing of bacteria. Notably, immunization with pneumococcal conjugate vaccines (PCVs) has effectively reduced the burden of disease caused by serotypes included in vaccines but has also spurred a relative upsurge in the prevalence of non-vaccine serotypes. Recent advancements in serotyping and bioinformatics surveillance tools coupled with high-resolution analytical techniques have enabled the discovery of numerous new capsule types, thereby providing a fresh perspective on the dynamic pneumococcal landscape. This review offers insights into the current pneumococcal seroepidemiology highlighting important serotype shifts in different global regions in the PCV era. It also comprehensively summarizes newly discovered serotypes from 2007 to 2024, alongside updates on revised chemical structures and the de-novo determinations of structures for previously known serotypes. Furthermore, we spotlight emerging evidence on non-pneumococcal Mitis-group strains that express capsular PS that are serologically and biochemically related to the pneumococcal capsule types. We further discuss the implications of these recent findings on capsule nomenclature, pneumococcal carriage detection, and future PCV design. The review maps out the current status and also outlines the course for future research and vaccine strategies, ensuring a continued effective response to the evolving pneumococcal challenge.

Способ получения биосубстанций из сырья маралов для внесения в плодоовощную протертую массу

The study was carried out in the laboratory for the processing and certification of antler products of the All-Russian Scientific Research Institute of Antler Deer Husbandry Federal State Budgetary Scientific Institution FANCA department (the Altai Region) in 2022. The purpose of research is to develop a technology for creating biosubstances from maral raw materials in combination with secondary milk raw materials for adding to fruit and vegetable purees. Objectives: to select the technological parameters for obtaining biosubstances based on secondary raw materials of dairy production and maral raw materials and evaluate the possibility of introducing the obtained biosubstances into fruit and vegetable purees. In a scientific study, the extraction parameters of maral raw materials were selected using the UZTA-1/22-OM Volna-M installation (extraction duration 0–8 hours, temperature 45–50 °C, hydromodule 1 : 10, 1 : 20). As an extractant curd whey, cheese whey and buttermilk were used, enzymes of microbial (Protozymes B and C) and animal origin (SG-50) were added in a complex at a dose of 0.2 % by weight of raw materials. In the course of research, the most effective method for processing maral raw materials was determined, which ensures the maximum yield of dry substances from maral antlers – 10.85 %. The production process of the ingredient from maral antlers based on cheese whey included a ratio of components of 1 : 10 using 0.2 % of Protozyme B and C enzymes for two hours of ultrasonic extraction. The process of obtaining an ingredient from maral meat with a solids yield of 13.66 % included ultrasonic extraction, the extractant of which was buttermilk at a ratio of 1 : 10 with the addition of Protozyme B and C enzymes for 6 hours. The addition of two ingredients to the fruit and vegetable mashed mass of pumpkin with sea buckthorn in the amount of 1.0 % made it possible to obtain the highest organoleptic assessment of the respondents – 4.6 points.

Increasing Capacity for Community-Engaged Research in Prisons: The Utility of a Basic Research Short Course

The use of community-engaged research strategies is proliferating, yet some community and academic partners are challenged by shared language and understanding of research concepts. This paper outlines an effort to enhance research literacy and build capacity for community-engaged research among incarcerated persons and staff in a Midwest prison. Innovation advisory groups were developed through a larger project to improve prison culture and climate. Advisors identified a need for a short course on research to increase skills and knowledge. A member of the university research team delivered a six-part research course that aimed to increase course participants’ skills and knowledge to engage in the co-creation of interventions, testable research questions, research projects, grants, and dissemination products. Twenty-seven prison staff and incarcerated persons completed the course. They ranged in age from 22 to 64 years old, with 38% of participants identifying as a person of color. Changes in participants’ research knowledge, attitudes toward research, and barriers to research were measured using a pre-post research design. Offering a short research course is one promising strategy for building capacity for community-engaged research in prisons. The implications for enhancing participatory research projects in prisons are described and benefits and challenges of these types of courses.

Features of sulfate and carbonate activation of plasticized fly-ash cement binder systems

Abstract. The article is devoted to the study of the features of sulfate and carbonate activation of plasticized fly ash-cement binder systems In the course of research, the principles of composite build of plasticized ash-filled binding compositions containing 20-40% of OPC and coal by-product by increased operational characteristics have been proven. It is shown that the use of complex organo-mineral additives in fly ash-cement compositions, which contain a mixture of carbonate and sulfate compounds as a mineral component, and a plasticizing additive of the polycarboxylate type as an organic component, makes it possible to obtain an artificial stone that is not inferior in its properties to a stone obtained on the basis of additive-free cement type I. The peculiarities of the synthesis of the strength of artificial stone based on fly ash-cement compositions modified with an organo-mineral additive containing carbonate and sulfate mineral components were studied. It is shown that when only carbonate additives are used for modification, the formation of low-base calcium hydrosilicates takes place on its surface, and when sulfate and carbonate additives are simultaneously introduced, solid solutions based on ettringite and its carbonate analogue prevail among neoplasms. It has been confirmed that during the hydration of fly ash-cement binding systems activated by the addition of burnt gypsum stone, the greatest effect associated with the increase in strength at all stages of hardening is achieved when the additive is used in the amount of 10%. Modification of sand-cement compositions with a sulfate additive causes an increase in the strength of artificial stone at the age of: 2 days by 14.24; 25.0 and 35.47%; 7 days at 83.18; 43.6 and 40.6%; 28 days for 75.5; 41.6 and 31.5%, respectively, when used in the binder composition of cement 20; 30 and 40%. Modification of fly ash-cement compositions with a carbonate component causes an increase in the strength of artificial stone at the age of: 2 days by 18.6-20%; 7 days by 105.12-45.3%; 28 days by 86.6-30.0%, respectively. With a consumption of 40% OPC, the optimal amount of carbonate additive is 9% and causes an increase in the strength of artificial stone at the age of: 2 days by 33.3%; 7 days by 56.63%; 28 days for 43.5%.

Justification of directions for improving the means of regulating innovative relations within the limits of the sustainable development policy in the European Union

The object of this study is existing regulatory approaches to determining the place and purpose of innovations within the economic system of the European Union (EU), in the context of the implemented policy of sustainable development. In the course of research and generalization of the sustainable development policy of the European Union, it was established that the purpose and role of innovations have not been properly identified. Only the absolute nature of innovation rights is registered while no restrictions in favor of meeting public interests are recorded. It has been proven that this does not meet the needs of the participants of innovative relations and negatively affects the scaling and implementation of innovations. The expediency of improving the existing normative concept of determining the place and role of innovations within the framework of the sustainable development policy of the European Union has been substantiated. Recommendations regarding areas of such improvement have been formed. As such recommendations, the need to formalize the definition of the normative construction of innovations on the basis of international recommendations "Oslo" is highlighted. The need to spread regulatory restrictions on the impact of innovations based on such criteria as industrial and man-made safety has been proven. The expediency of introducing additional guarantees for developers of innovations is also substantiated. The need to make changes to the provisions of such international treaties and agreements as the Horizon Europe Framework Program has been proven. The study is aimed at forming general theoretical foundations for improving the essence of regulatory techniques for identifying forms of technology transfer. The practical significance of the research results is that the generated results could be used in the formation of international normative acts, recommendations of international institutions, acts of national legislation, and serve as a basis for further scientific research on these issues

Castra Terrae Culmensis – the daily life of knights of the Teutonic Order in the light of recent research

This article presents the results of a long-term archaeological and environmental studies research conducted by the Institute of Archaeology at the Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń in 2005‒2018 on castles in Papowo Biskupie, Radzyń Chełmiński, Kowalewo Pomorskie, Unisław, Starogród, Lipienek, Bierzgłowo, Wąbrzeźno and Grudziądz. The research was interdisciplinary and included also non-invasive, geoarchaeological, HGIS, archaeobotanical and archaeozoological studies. Their results were used not only to discuss the chronology of the origins of building activity and the model of the development of defensive architecture, but also to reconstruct selected elements of daily life. The daily life of the inhabitants of the Teutonic Order’s castles was conditioned by many elements related primarily to their monastic rule. However, the daily existence of the knights was also strongly influenced by the natural conditions affecting the location and position of the castles, as well as the external environment, including the architecture of the space in which the daily elements of life took place. In addition to the Rule and monastic statutes, archaeological findings uncovered in the course of the archaeological research provide interesting clues that also speak about the conditions of life, work, prayer and duties of members of the Order.

Current Status and Influencing Factors of Nursing Students’ Health Education Ability in Tertiary Vocational Colleges in Nanjing China

Objective: This study aims to survey the current health education ability of nursing students in Nanjing, China and explore influencing factors affecting their ability of health education. Methods: Using a cross-sectional descriptive design and convenience sampling, 282 tertiary vocational college nursing interns from 8 triple-A hospitals are investigated using by Health education ability self-assessment scale for nursing students. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS20.0. Results: The total healthy education ability score of nursing interns is 157.95 ± 21.90. None of the dimensions qualifies the “basic level” of health education ability. School GPA, nursing research courses, attendance in health education activities, passion for the nursing career, awareness of the importance of health education, receiving skills on health education are statistically significant influencing factors on healthy education abilities (t/F scores are 2.873, 3.025, 3.289, 9.506, 5.884, 2.043; p < 0.05). Based on multi-regression analysis, passion for the nursing career, nursing research courses and attendance in health education activities are the key influencing factors (p < 0.05). Conclusion: The overall health education abilities of nursing interns from tertiary vocational colleges are relatively low. These colleges should strengthen research abilities of nursing students and promote the teaching of health education skills and abilities.

ENSURING THE WORLD-CLASS TACTICAL AND TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF COMBAT ARMORED VEHICLES BY SUBSTANTIATING THE DESIGN AND TECHNOLOGICAL SOLUTIONS FOR ELEMENTS OF LOADING MECHANISMS: BASIC APPROACHES AND MODELS

The work is aimed at ensuring high tactical and technical characteristics of domestic armored combat vehicles by increasing the contact strength of the most critical and loaded elements of the charging mechanisms. This is due to the fact that due to the conditions of combat operations in modern conditions, the load on these elements of armored combat vehicles is sharply increasing. In such conditions, traditional methods for calculating the contact strength of these elements by conditional stresses with correction factors are not applicable. Therefore, in the course of research, we improved the models of contact interaction based on the development of the theory of variational inequalities. This model includes both variable and sought-after modifications of the shape of the working surfaces of the contacting elements of armored combat vehicles and the properties of the materials of the surface layers. A search for progressive design and technological solutions for these elements has been carried out. This makes it possible to develop a new generation of charging mechanisms that allow for an increase in the caliber of weapon projectiles and the rate of fire from advanced standard weapons. Such advanced solutions make it possible to ensure the tactical and technical characteristics of domestic advanced armored combat vehicles at the world level. The regularities of the influence of the varied parameters (geometric shape and properties of surface layers) on the contact strength of the elements of the charging mechanisms of armored combat vehicles are established. In particular, a significant asymmetry of the area of contact interaction between rollers and drive sprockets was found. This effect is caused by the general deformation, first of all, of the rollers. In this case, the contact area is shifted to the periphery of the working surface. Accordingly, the modification of this working surface (the formation of a “barrel”) has a positive effect on the load capacity of the contacting elements. The levels of contact pressure and equivalent Mises stresses decrease.

STRENGTH AND STABILITY OF MOVEMENT OF ROTOR SYSTEMS OF TANK ENGINE AIR SUPERCHARGER

The work researches the processes and states that occur in the impeller of the air supercharger of tank engine. The influence of the tension in the connection of the impeller with the shaft and the yield strength of its material on the stress-strain state and critical speeds of movement is studied. For this purpose, appropriate mathematical and numerical models were built. Parametric models of the studied processes and states have also been developed. A number of varied parameters are considered. This makes it possible to study the influence of these parameters on the performance and strength of the rotor part of the air compressor. On this basis, a specialized database with research results can be built. The analysis of these results is the basis for establishing certain regularities, as well as for substantiating progressive technical solutions of the rotor parts of the air blowers of tank engines according to the criteria of strength and performance. The impeller of the air compressor of the tank engine limits its strength and durability. As determined in the course of research, a direct increase in the mechanical properties of the aluminum alloy material from which it is made is not productive. Among the significant factors, it is necessary to take into account the acting loads from centrifugal forces and tension in the coupling "shaft - impeller", and in their combination. It is also important to take into account the elastic-plastic deformation of the material of the impeller. Recommended are not separate measures and solutions regarding the rotary parts of the air compressor, but their combination for the purposeful improvement of the characteristics of strength and durability.

STUDY OF QUALITATIVE PARAMETERS OF SEA BUCKTHORN RAW MATERIAL

This paper describes the result of the study of qualitative indicators of sea buckthorn raw material, revealing the content of the pressing process depending on the purpose of the research work.Sea buckthorn is a valuable source of a number of important biologically active compounds. Raising the question of sea buckthorn processing industry is due to the valuable properties of multivitamin crops.In the course of research of the process of obtaining wild sea buckthorn juice, experimental juicing equipment was described. The pressure self-regulation mechanism equipped with a screw press design in the working area, which provides the technical result, is characterized.

Система учета обстоятельств, влияющих на размер уголовного наказания

Introduction. The gradual development of the institution of punishment in the Russian criminal law has predetermined the legislative consolidation of a multidirectional and diverse system of sanctions for unlawful behaviour of a person having violated a criminal-legal prohibition; humanisation of types and amounts of punishment; expansion of the list of additional circumstances characterising the unlawful act or the person that committed it, which the court take into account when passing a sentence. However, the problem of proper understanding of the circumstances affecting the amount of criminal punishment, as well as their uniform consideration in determining the measure of responsibility of a person who has violated a criminal-law prohibition, continues to be one of the most urgent for the national criminal law, because without solving it, judicial and investigative practice will lack a regulator preventing the overgrowth of permissible discretion into lawlessness, and the Special Part of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation will retain an unreasonable volume of legislative criminal- legal prohibitions. Methods. In the course of scientific research, we used general scientific methods (dialectical, system analysis, structural, formal-logical, analysis, synthesis, induction, deduction, analogy, functional) and special-legal methods of research (technical-legal, dogmatic, comparative-legal). Results. The article states and justifies the proposal, according to which creating a more effective mechanism of differentiation and individualisation of criminal liability requires a fundamentally new system of taking into account the circumstances, characterising the criminal act and the person who committed it, implying maximum specification of the degree of influence of these circumstances on the type and amount of punishment imposed. The above proposal is also aimed at “unloading” and “easing” to a certain extent the constructions of the overwhelming majority of criminal-legal prohibitions of the Special Part of the RF Criminal Code. To implementthe formulated proposal, the author considers it necessary to make appropriate amendments to the current RF Criminal Code.

A mathematical model of the movement of an unmanned tractor with front steerable wheels during the «rearrangement» maneuver

BACKGROUND: the movement of an unmanned tractor can be represented in the form of elementary primitives, one of which is the «rearrangement» maneuver. Taking into account the kinematic limitations of a wheeled mover with front steerable wheels, it is necessary to calculate in advance the coordinates of the beginning of the maneuver depending on the magnitude of the displacement and the speed of movement for accurate and effective planning of the trajectory. AIMS: development of a mathematical model of the movement of an unmanned wheeled tractor with front steerable wheels when performing the «rearrangement» maneuver, obtaining analytical dependences of the length of the maneuver and the time of the control signal from the speed of movement and the required displacement value. MATERIALS AND METHODS: To achieve this goal, a mathematical model of the kinematics of the curvilinear motion of a wheeled tractor with front swivel wheels was developed. The description of the maneuver and possible trajectories of movement are given. RESULTS: In the course of theoretical research, the dependences of the time of the control signal and the length of the maneuver were obtained, depending on the required amount of displacement when the tractor is moving at different speeds. The approximation of the obtained data made it possible to obtain analytical dependencies. CONCLUSION: the obtained dependencies can be used to control unmanned tractors with front steerable wheels at different displacement values and when moving at different speeds to perform the «rearrangement» maneuver clearly at specified waypoints.
